images from a server ?
Hi,
I realized that images which are referenced in xsl files must exist
physically in a support ( a disk). but I would like to reference images
dynamically from a server (by sending a request related to an appropriate
context).
Is there a means to do that? Please help.
regards,
adel

I understand your argument, but when you look at
ftp://ftp.isi.edu/in-notes/iana/assignments/url-schemes and
http://www.w3.org/Addressing/schemes.html, I'd be surprised if you can't
find an official or unofficial URI scheme that already meets your needs,
obviating the requirement for an entity-resolver-based mechanism that users
can configure. Not only have we had file: for quite a while, but ldap: and
jdbc: have been around for a bit, and it seems like those should be
sufficient.
The real issue is this - what official and unofficial URI addressing schemes
do we want to support?

I understand what you want to do...
FOP uses the java.net.URL class to load the image data. What would be better
is to have a URI scheme to access database directly, no ? (I don't think
that it exists, but...)
For now, you need to use a web server (or any net service that can execute
code).
Eric.

AW: images from a server ?
Posted by Drik Seppelt <di...@t-online.de>.
Hi Eric,
I think, that URL's are not powerful enough.
It would be very useful if FOP loaded all external resources as pictures
with the aid of a mechanism like the org.xml.sax.EntityResolver (see
Xerces).
With that everyone could define this resolver again and load pictures for
example direct from a database
Regards,
Dirk

Images are referenced by URLs (not only files on disk). You can then create
dynamically your images ...
