NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/fop/apps/FopFactory
Hi All, I'm running a JApplet on an Eclipse IDE on Windows 7 OS. The code is intended to turn a zipped xml file into a PDF document. When the program executes the line: code FopFactory fopFactory = FopFactory.newInstance(); code I get the following error message: --- Exception in thread AWT-EventQueue-2 java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/fop/apps/FopFactory at com.momaf.tiermuis.applet.health.StatementGeneratorApplet.genereateClientPDF(Unknown Source) at com.momaf.tiermuis.applet.health.StatementGeneratorApplet.access$1200(Unknown Source) at com.momaf.tiermuis.applet.health.StatementGeneratorApplet$4.actionPerformed(Unknown Source) at javax.swing.AbstractButton.fireActionPerformed(Unknown Source) at javax.swing.AbstractButton$Handler.actionPerformed(Unknown Source) at javax.swing.DefaultButtonModel.fireActionPerformed(Unknown Source) at javax.swing.DefaultButtonModel.setPressed(Unknown Source) at javax.swing.plaf.basic.BasicButtonListener.mouseReleased(Unknown Source) at java.awt.Component.processMouseEvent(Unknown Source) at javax.swing.JComponent.processMouseEvent(Unknown Source) at java.awt.Component.processEvent(Unknown Source) at java.awt.Container.processEvent(Unknown Source) at java.awt.Component.dispatchEventImpl(Unknown Source) at java.awt.Container.dispatchEventImpl(Unknown Source) at java.awt.Component.dispatchEvent(Unknown Source) at java.awt.LightweightDispatcher.retargetMouseEvent(Unknown Source) at java.awt.LightweightDispatcher.processMouseEvent(Unknown Source) at java.awt.LightweightDispatcher.dispatchEvent(Unknown Source) at java.awt.Container.dispatchEventImpl(Unknown Source) at java.awt.Component.dispatchEvent(Unknown Source) at java.awt.EventQueue.dispatchEventImpl(Unknown Source) at java.awt.EventQueue.access$000(Unknown Source) at java.awt.EventQueue$1.run(Unknown Source) at java.awt.EventQueue$1.run(Unknown Source) at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method) at java.security.AccessControlContext$1.doIntersectionPrivilege(Unknown Source) at java.security.AccessControlContext$1.doIntersectionPrivilege(Unknown Source) at java.awt.EventQueue$2.run(Unknown Source) at java.awt.EventQueue$2.run(Unknown Source) at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method) at java.security.AccessControlContext$1.doIntersectionPrivilege(Unknown Source) at java.awt.EventQueue.dispatchEvent(Unknown Source) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpOneEventForFilters(Unknown Source) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpEventsForFilter(Unknown Source) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpEventsForHierarchy(Unknown Source) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpEvents(Unknown Source) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpEvents(Unknown Source) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.run(Unknown Source) Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.fop.apps.FopFactory at sun.plugin2.applet.Applet2ClassLoader.findClass(Unknown Source) at sun.plugin2.applet.Plugin2ClassLoader.loadClass0(Unknown Source) at sun.plugin2.applet.Plugin2ClassLoader.loadClass(Unknown Source) at sun.plugin2.applet.Plugin2ClassLoader.loadClass(Unknown Source) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(Unknown Source) ... 38 more ___ Anyone?

Re: Configure fonts for FOP
Hi Fernando, If you open the example in conf/fop.xconf, you'll see an example has been created (but commented out) for Arial. That is where you need to declare the font. I personally don't use the auto-detect feature, so I won't be able to help you there. But I'd suggest that you create a definition in the config file for each font individually, like the example for arial, the embed-url property let's FOP know the URL of the font file. That way if a specific font doesn't work, you can easily analyse why. As for taking TTF files from a Windows box to a Linux box, that should work fine. I don't know if that's breaking any licensing issues or the legality, but TTFs are platform independent. You may however have issues if there are any spaces in the directory or file names.

RE: What am I missing (loading custom font to embed)?
Thank you for your interest. It had some problem reading the font in the fop class. I gave up trying to debug it and fixed the error by reloading the project from a previous state. -Original Message- From: Chris Bowditch [mailto:bowditch_ch...@hotmail.com] Sent: Monday, July 25, 2011 8:43 AM To: fop-users@xmlgraphics.apache.org Subject: Re: What am I missing (loading custom font to embed)?

Re: Configure fonts for FOP
Hi Mehdi, I have followed your instructions and it works like a charm. Thank you ! I have taken the auto-detect out of the configuration and it picks the fonts from the directory specified so I guess it is doing what I expect which is only to include the fonts in the configured directory. Regarding the embedding of the fonts with the PDF, I've checked and the fonts are there with the target. Since I haven't told FOP anything about embedding the fonts, all it has is a directory with TTF files, I assume that the default behaviour is to embbed the fonts - it has the TTF files so it can do that I believe. Can you confirm this is the case ?. Thank you very much for your help !!!
