Hi, I have a dynamically generated SVG image (using Batik included with the FOP distribution) and I want to pass the SVG (say as a bytearrayoutputstream) into the render process. The render process is typical:
bufferedOutputStream = new BufferedOutputStream( new FileOutputStream( outputPDFFile ) ); fop = fopFactory.newFop( org.apache.xmlgraphics.util.MimeConstants.MIME_PDF, foUserAgent, bufferedOutputStream ); transformer = TransformerFactory.newInstance().newTransformer( new StreamSource( xslStylesheet ) ); source = new StreamSource( xmlData ); result = new SAXResult( fop.getDefaultHandler() ); transformer.transform( source, result ); I've found the following two articles which have given me a bit of an idea: http://old.nabble.com/How-to-transform-embedded-FO--td31231565.html http://old.nabble.com/Embedding-SVG-dynamically-into-fo-file-td30691616.html but I can't seem to figure out once I have my SVG as a bytearraystream what to do with it: SAXSource saxSource = new SAXSource( new InputSource( new ByteArrayInputStream( byteArrayOutputStream.toByteArray() ) ) ); Where do I put the saxSource? At the other end, what tag/block do I use in the XSL file to place the SVG? Currently I pull in an SVG file using the tag <fo:block background-image="url('background.svg')" background-repeat="repeat" background-position-horizontal="center" background-position-vertical="center" > which is fine for the file version...but not sure what to do for a dynamically generated version. >From what I've read it should be possible to create an SVG on the fly and pass >it into the render process...just can't join all the dots! Thanks in advance, Bernard.
