new contrib, long request filter
Hi everyone, I have been using FOP for a couple of years, and while it worked for me, my documents would take a long time to render and I would wonder if my request actually went through. Plus, my users would get aggravated. Anyway, I did some of the tricks one can do and rewrote my program to check if it was done. Anyway to make a long story short, I wrote a filter that will provide a status page to the user WITHOUT having to write or modify a line of code. I can put the servlet filter in front of any request that runs long without modifying anything. So you can put it in front of struts, in front of fop servlet, a jsp, etc... I configured a specific webapp of FOP that uses this filter and you can run it. Notice that I said configured since I did not actually have to write this, I just configured FOPServlet(came with distribution) and web.xml to show you that I did not have to write or modify code. One of the features that it has is to calculate the average time for the request and use that to predicate the status bar. All the code is in CVS, and there is a snap shot of it. It's LGPL. Just wanted to share. http://rhoderunner.com/longrequest/ BTW, for now it's on a test server that has an automated build system (pull from cvs, deploy to tomcat) so it may not be up 100% of the time. If at first you don't succeed, try try again! I - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
FOP and user load?
Hi. I am trying to figure out how many users can simultaneously generate a PDF document with FOP. Average document is 20 pages long, with 20 images that are generated via servlet. Can anyone give me some ball park numbers or ideas on how to figure this out? How should I factor in available CPU and memory into the equation? Thanks so much! - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
horizontal rule in table?
Hi fop'ers, I have horizontal rules that span across the entire length of the page. They appear as separators between rows in a table. They are called tablerule in my xml doc. tr tdCancer/tdtd12/td /tr tablerule / tr tdHeart Disease/tdtd30/td /tr The problem is that my tablerule element does not have the number of columns that I want it to span. I would like it to span the entire table. However the transformation that I wrote wants a number-columns-spanned attribute. I set it to the max possible, but this feels kind of a hack. Can someone recommend a good solution to outputting a horizontal rule within a table without having to re-write or change the xml? Changing the xml would be very difficult. Thanks! Here is my xsl for the tablerule element: xsl:template match=tablerule fo:table-row fo:table-cell border-bottom-width=0.5mm border-bottom-style=solid number-columns-spanned=10 fo:block space-before=5ptxsl:text /xsl:text /fo:block /fo:table-cell /fo:table-row fo:table-row fo:table-cell number-columns-spanned=10 fo:block space-before=5pt xsl:text /xsl:text /fo:block /fo:table-cell /fo:table-row /xsl:template - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
image scaling memory leak?
I know the FAQ discusses this... It took me a couple of days to figure this out, but the image scaling that I am doing in FOP is crashing my application. All my images are returned via a servlet... If I turn the servlet engine off, no images are returned and FOP runs like a champ... (although my reports have no images) If I do not do image scaling, my images look very bad If I do image scaling, I can only handle about 20 reports (20 images each), before crashing. All of my images are dynamic, returned as a PNG from a servlet with jFreeChart. Even if I start out with a huge memory setting for my JVM, I will eventually run out. Any ideas on how I can proceed? Is this FOP only, or all fo processors? Thanks! - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
svg does not scale or respect other blocks space.
I can very easily swap image formats in my program. I did some testing
with svg, jpg and png.
1) jpg and png will not overwrite other blocks. With SVG, the image will
overlay over text. It seems not to respect other fo:blocks, even if I put
the external graphic into a fo block.
2) the svg does not get scaled to the width that I specify. PNG and JPG
do get scaled down.
Has anyone else encounted these problems? Let me know.
Thanks.

how can i wrap text that is not being wrapped?
I have some text that does not have any spaces in it. When FOP renders the text, it can not break up the text. FOP will clip it and give warnings about overflows. It's a trivial example but here is something that will be clipped: Notice the lack of spaces. /usr/local/jakarta-tomcat-4.1.18/webapps/hra/templates/hra/diabetes\en_US\maj.x.vm Here is an example of something that will be wrapped. Notice the space between blood cholesterol /usr/local/jakarta-tomcat-4.1.18/webapps/hra/templates/hra/blood cholesterol\en_US\f.x.vm How can I get text to be wrapped instead of clipped. I would rather just pick any arbitrary character and wrap from there, instead of clipping text. Less warnings too!;) - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: how to specify XML parser used by fop
If FOP uses jaxp, it would take whatever is the default parser. You can set this property on the command line We should definitely be using jaxp. Here is some docs I found on how to do this. SAX Parser Configuration The SAX Plugability classes allow an application programmer to provide an implementation of the org.xml.sax.DefaultHandler API to a SAXParser implementation and parse XML documents. In order to obtain a SAXParser instance, an application programmer first obtains an instance of a SAXParserFactory. The SAXParserFactory instance is obtained via the static newInstance method of the SAXParserFactory class. This method uses the following ordered lookup procedure to determine the SAXParserFactory implementation class to load: Use the javax.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactory system property Use the properties file lib/jaxp.properties in the JRE directory. This configuration file is in standard java.util.Properties format and contains the fully qualified name of the implementation class with the key being the system property defined above. Use the Services API (as detailed in the JAR specification), if available, to determine the classname. The Services API will look for the classname in the file META-INF/services/javax.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactory in jars available to the runtime. Platform default SAXParserFactory instance. - Original Message - From: Jason Novotny [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, March 19, 2003 5:11 PM Subject: how to specify XML parser used by fop I guess it uses Aelfred by default which I'm having problems with-- how I can I tell fop to use crimson or whatever else?

svg as external graphic does not get scaled?
Using fop-0.20.5rc2 I am using the external-graphic object to includes graphs. If I use a svg, it does not get scaled. My graphs scale fine if I use other image formats. The SVG does get displayed, but it appears very large.

anchor block to bottom of page? (footnote margin problem)
I am trying to have a fo block be anchored from the bottom of the page. Basically it's a image, and some text that I want to have appear as far done the page as possible, but not to cause a page break. I see people use a footnote for this, but this is not working for me. The margins of the footnote are not the same as the calling region (the region that I define my footnote in, which is xsl-region-body) This is not static text. It's just a grouping of content that I want as far down as possible on the page. Can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks!
PassiveTEX?
Hi everyone, I want to know if anyone has used PassiveTEX and switched to FOP? Or gone the other way? I would like to know what brought you to FOP, or turned you to PassiveTEX. FOP is wonderful, and I am not disbaraging it whatsoever. But as a small component in a much larger project, I can't be concerned with trying to debug a problem with my documents. I want it to work as advertised. I realize that FOP is relatively immature in terms of developement, whereas latex and other programs have been around for a very long time. I would appreciate any thoughts. Thanks, and best regards. Phillip - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: fo:external-graphic problem when using HTTPS - EntityResolver?
I have a weird and crazy idea that may help you
Why don't you install a local apache server with mod_proxy.
You can configure mod_proxy so that it can tunnel into https from your http
connection.
1) It's very fast, all my browsing is through a proxy server
2) You can secure your local apache so that it would only allow requests
from localhost
3) It solves your problem by allowing you to make a request via http to
get your https resource.
I am sorry if you find my suggestion ridiculous, but sometimes ridiculous
ideas such as this one can save a lot of heartache and effort.
I guarantee it will work.

Hi,
I have the following external graphic declaration in a XML file:

I render it to a servlet outputstream using:
Driver driver;
driver = new Driver( new InputSource( reader ), out ); driver.setRenderer(
Driver.RENDER_PDF );
driver.run();
This works just fine when having the server configured for HTTP but when
using HTTPS, it fails with error:
Error while creating area : Error with image URL: unknown certificate and
no base directory is specified
I think this is because I am using a own generated certificate and not a
real certificate from f ex Verisign. I know that I can either create my
own SecurityManager (effectively disabling security), or use a real
certificate. I would however like to circumvent all such hazzles and
retrieve the image in some other means instead, intially I tried to use a
custom EntityResolver, but I doesnt seem like it is used for image url
resolution:
i.e.
driver = new Driver( new InputSource( reader ), out ); driver.setRenderer(
Driver.RENDER_PDF );
XMLReader xmlReader = XMLReaderFactory.createXMLReader();
xmlReader.setEntityResolver( new CustomEntityResolver() );
driver.setXMLReader( xmlReader );
driver.run();
Does anyone have any tips how to get the EntityResolver approach to work,
or know any other way to achieve something similar.

design help for multiple output formats?
Hi. I have created a html document as a result of an xsl transformation. All of the content is contained in an xsl file (which is built dynamically from a database and programming). The content (xsl) contains a lot of xsl-commands that do variable interpolation for the report content (e.g. Dear xsl:value-of select=/xml/@name/) A short explanation: the reports are built up sentence by sentence based upon database data and calculations. In addition, each sentence has substitutions in it and conditional logic (e.g. pluralization) My problem is that I want to render the document in pdf, rtf and html formats. While the html one looks good, I can not imagine how I could output in the other formats, without duplicating all the content again and putting the xsl-fo markup in the content. What I think I should do is instead of putting anything html-specific in my content, to put some other markup. After I do my initial tranformation, I could then run it thorough an html convertor, or a xsl-fo convertor (to transform my markup tags). Has anyone come up with a generic markup and the corresponding xsl convertors? Is this a good approach? Thanks. I appreciate you having read this. It would be nice to get some other perspectives. Phillip
