problem with FOP 0.91.beta and gif images
Hi, i create a stylesheet containing the following source: fo:table-cell column-number="1"fo:blockfo:external-graphic src="" content-width="75mm"//fo:block/fo:table-cell Everytime i try to publish my xml-file using my stylesheet i got the error message: image not available: bild1.gif. But the image file is stored in the same folder as the stylesheet. Why does Fop not found the image? I use fop 0.91.beta with all jars found in the downloadfile: fop-0.91beta-bin-jdk1.4.zip. Do I need some further jars to enable gif support in FOP? Best regards - med venlig hilsen mit freundlichen Grüssen Andreas Grund __ Andreas Grund Dipl. Wi-Inf.

Re: problem with FOP 0.91.beta and gif images
The command-line of FOP uses the directory of the source XML file (not the stylesheet) as base directory/URL. If your stylesheet is not in the same directory as the XML file FOP won't find it if you don't specify an explicit base directory in the config file. So, the work-around for you at the moment is to explicitely set the base URL in the config file (Element: base). If I'm thinking about it, it is probably a bad idea to use the XML file as base URL source when a stylesheet is used. Normally, you'd place the resources for a stylesheet relative to the stylesheet, not the source XML file. fop-devs, what do you think? It would be easy to fix. On the other side, 0.20.5 seems to do the same (see Options.setCommandLineOptions).

hej, I have used something like this fo:external-graphic src="url(pave_files/P1R7.jpg)"/ And it works OK! med vänlig hälsning Kaarle Kaila - Original Message - From: Andreas Grund To: fop-users@xmlgraphics.apache.org Sent: Tuesday, January 10, 2006 10:38 AM Subject: problem with FOP 0.91.beta and gif images Hi, i create a stylesheet containing the following source: fo:table-cell column-number="1"fo:blockfo:external-graphic src="" content-width="75mm"//fo:block/fo:table-cell Everytime i try to publish my xml-file using my stylesheet i got the error message: image not available: bild1.gif.

Re: problem with FOP 0.91.beta and gif images
hi, In my current case the images would belong to the XML file and not the stylesheet so current is OK with me! For some other case I could need some icons etc from a common directory. regards Kaarle Kaila - Original Message - From: Jeremias Maerki [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: fop-users@xmlgraphics.apache.org Sent: Tuesday, January 10, 2006 11:01 AM Subject: Re: problem with FOP 0.91.beta and gif images The command-line of FOP uses the directory of the source XML file (not the stylesheet) as base directory/URL.

I set the baseURL using the function FOPUserAgent.setBaseURL but it does not work. I path a string like file://c:/my/graphic/folder to the function. I tested a lot and get now the error message: ERROR FOP - Error with opening URL '//bild1.gif': bild1.gif I changed the path to the image to file://bild1.gif to get this error message. I have not tested this but I believe a URL with out a host part must have 3 consecutive slashes not 2. Try file:///c:/my/graphic/folder. Roughly(!) speaking the first two slashes separate the URL scheme from the host part and the 3rd slash separates the host part from the path. So file:///c:/my/graphic/folder is actually equivalent to file://localhost/c:/my/graphic/folder. In your version c: (not sure if colon is a legal character here) would actually be the hostname.

If the graphics are common for all generations using that stylesheet (say, a graphical masthead of a newsletter), your suggestion makes the most amount of sense. But imagine a stylesheet used to print a one page biography for an arbitrary person, and that the stylesheet displays a photo.gif picture of the person in a certain area. I could imagine each person for which we would want to use the stylesheet having his own directory with a bio.xml and photo.gif. Then, the stylesheet would use the specific photo.gif in the directory where the specified bio.xml file is. Perhaps an option allowing for either scenario would be best.

The XML source may refer to other ressources as well, which would probably use the XML source URL as base. That's not going to be easy to resolve, because after the transformation there's no way to know whether a reference came from the XML source or from the style sheet. I'd keep the XML source URL as a base, and tell people to set a base URL in the config if image URLs are to be resolved against the style sheet's URL. For more advanced use cases, we probably need a search path, or the user has to supply a custom URI resolver.
