Loading FOP userconfig file from EAR

["Toulson, Simon" <si...@csfb.com>]

I am using fop 0.20.3 as part of a web server application, distributed as an EAR file,  running under weblogic 6.1.  Unfortunately we are not able to distribute the application to our production servers in any other form.  We have our own userconfig.xml file which specifies the fonts used by Fop.  Unfortunately the loading of this file always fails.  
The userconfig.xml file is passed to the Options.loadUserconfiguration() static method as a string. Having a quick look at the Fop source code, a File object is created, which I think results in weblogic being unable to load the file. Are there any plans to overload the Options.loadUserconfiguration() method to pass in an InputStream, or any other alternatives that would allow the userconfig.xml file to be loaded from an EAR file ?   
regards,


Simon

That's easy to see, the userconfig has to be a real file.

You can essentially try to copy what is in
  Options.loadUserconfiguration(File userConfigFile),
substitute
  new InputSource(<your classloader>.getRessourceAsStream(...))
or something for
  InputHandler.getFileInputSource(...)
