Accessing authenticated external graphic objects
Greetings, while using FOP embedded in a servlet, I need to include graphics using fo:external-graphic and said graphics are generated by the same servlet. However, if the servlet uses http authentication the graphic is not included. I think I could work around the problem by cloning the servlet under a different name and having it provide service to 127.0.0.1 only, but I was wondering if I could use approaches based on the servlet API such as getResourceAsStream() or RequestDispatcher.include(). Thank you for your consideration, Davide Bolcioni -- Paranoia is a survival asset. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

You can patch the image factory to call the image producing servlet directly. There is no easy way around this (URL handlers are another possiblity, but implementing them in a webapp environment is even more of a PITA then in standalone apps).
