I don't want to test the 0.9-dev version, since it's a dev version ....

I need forrest in a company context, and I can't install a dev version.

IMYO forrest 0.8 should be fully fonctional with current products releases
(Tomcat, etc.), and this issue should be in JIRA

0.8 was tested against tomcat before it was released. It worked at that time.

It might be that recent changes in components used in the plugin pipeline have since broken the release. Whilst it would be great if this never happened we cannot possibly track every single project and system configuration. Demanding that "0.8 should be fully functional with current product releases" helps nobody..

Helping us solve the problem will result an increased attention from the developers. We are not here to provide free support for your company we are here because we have specific needs and since none of us are hitting the problem you describe you can be pretty sure our needs are not aligned with your own (although some people here will happily focus solely on your problem if you want to pay them).

If you would be so kind as to raise the JIRA issue as you suggest, add as much detail as you can from your own experiences and the discussions earlier in this thread, and also attach to it information about whether you see the same behaviour in 0.9-dev it would be very helpful.

We are not saying that you should run 0.9-dev (although many people do), we are asking you to help narrow down whether this is an issue that affects 0.8 on your system configuration alone, or whether it still remains in 0.9. The more you help us the more we can help you, but please don't expect us to fix your problems for you, this is open source not free labour.

I will add it, as soon as possible

Thanks

Hi thanks for your answer !

Yes I tried verything !

So you are saying that you have tried 0.9-dev
and it is broken too.

I will not be commenting anymore on the user list
about this issue.

What's more I think every one can see this error quite easily, since you
only need to do that
On any OS, on any browser
1/ Download apache-forrest-0.8 (Actual release)
2/ Downlaod apache-tomcat-6-0.18 (Actual release)
3/ Use java 1.6 (Actual release)
4/ forrest seed (To create sample forrest site)
5/ forrest war (to create WAR sample forrest site)
6/ put the .war in the tomcat webapps folder
7/ Launch sample forrest application from tomcat
8/ Go to any page with any image of this war sample forrest site
9/ Try to see it in PDF version
10/ See that you don't have image displayed

That take about 10 minutes (After having download Tomcat, apache and java
1.6)

Hi guys !

Did someone take a look on this issue ? Are you reproducing ?

There has been work done on the PDF plugin. However, i think
that you would need to be using the 0.9-dev trunk to take
advantage.

Have you done all the things suggested earlier in this thread?
Do you see the same problems with the "forrest seed" sample site?

Anyway, if it still persists after trying the 0.9-dev
then i suggest raising the issue on the "dev" mail list.
