RE: Relative URLs
Hi! First of all: You are really a great mailing list!! Helpful comments almost immediately, every time :-) Setting the basedir in the config file is working - thank you! It is no perfect solution as I still have to once more note the installation directory, but I already reference my fonts that way and get along setting CATALINA_HOME for Ant ... Passing request.getServerName (and perhaps request.getServerPort()) is what I would have used... indeed, I already do something similar in a preprocessing step (for the simulation of floats) to manage Server (not tomcat)-relative URLs. Being interested generally, if anybody knows/finds the default of this basedir in a servlet environment where no real fo files are written, please let me know!

RE: Relative URLs
Ah! I misunderstood you. Yes, if I do the configuration programmatically instead of my fop-config.xml, of course I have dynamic access to everything! Great, I'll check now if I could reference font-metrics and embedded fonts this way as well. Thank you VERY much! -Original Message- From: J.Pietschmann [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Freitag, 12.

RE: Relative URLs in Servlet-created FO
Mike (and others), I'm now very content with my configuration and will summarize it shortly: The configuration xml is now very short: configuration fonts font metrics-file=font1.xml kerning=yes embed-file=../ttf/Ss__.ttf font-triplet name=customFont style=normal weight=normal/ /font font metrics-file=font1_b.xml kerning=yes embed-file=../ttf/Sssb.ttf font-triplet name=customFont style=normal weight=bold/ /font /fonts /configuration and my Servlet's init() starts with ServletContext ctx = getServletContext(); new Options(new File(ctx.getRealPath(CONFIG_FILE))); org.apache.fop.configuration.Configuration.put(baseDir, ctx.getRealPath(/)); org.apache.fop.configuration.Configuration.put(fontBaseDir, ctx.getRealPath(/WEB-INF/fonts)); The logo is referenced inside the stylesheet with: fo:external-graphic src=url(headers/logo2.svg) / (headers being a directoy under the context root, fonts and ttf are under WEB-INF) Greetings and thanks again, sonja -Original Message- From: Mike Trotman [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Freitag, 12.

I have a nasty feeling that I ended up passing server names etc. as XSLT parameters. I also had problems between a version of XEP and FOP in their interpretation of url() contents - which differed. The resolution of url() paths may depend on when they are processed (i.e which document) and by what. So - the paths should be processed relative to the location of your FO file. If the FO file is produced in memory - then the relative base probably depends on the application. You could try using the 'xml:base' attribute on an element in the FO to define what should be taken as the base url for that element and child elements - but I haven't tried this with FOP - so don't know if it works / is supported.
