Strange fop/batik font problem with apache in webapp.
Hi all,
I want to generate some PDF from SVG via fop/batik from inside a web
application. I am using the Grails framework, BTW. Grails runs its webapps
inside a tomcat.
Exec summary: Something works as a script, does not work in the tomcat,
need idea where things could go wrong. PDF gets generated both times, but
no custom fonts when using webapp.
Long version: I took some of the sample code, wrote a small Groovy script
that creates a transformer (no, i.e. default configuration), feeds it with
the proper input/output streams and creates the output. Fonts are correct
in the file generated. I also get plenty of output that shows that fop is
configuring its fonts from the fonts on my machine. Great stuff.
It also generates a .fop directory in my home and puts font caches in there.
Great.
Webapp: Now, for testing, I put a subset of the code into the bootstrapping
code of the webapp. It creates a transcoder and transcodes an example svg
string. It does a default font configuration, but completely ignores the
fonts on my machine and also does not create anywhere a .fop directory.
>From the documentation I did not really understand what happens. Also
setting log level to trace does not help.
Any suggestions? I would also be thankful for points of documentation where
I could learn more. I thought "fontconfig" would be the place, but I don't
see my problem represented there.
Cheers,
Wolfgang

Dear all,
It just works now, and I do not know why. I added some log.trace to the
source, recompiled, deployed, and "it" just worked. It finds the fonts now.
I suspect that I accidentally fixed jar problem in adding my code + traces
to the classpath of my app.
Thanks for your suggestions, this plus going into the source was really
helpful for my understanding of what fop does.
Cheers,
Wolfgang

Hi, Wolfgang-
If FOP is building the font cache, I believe you should see a file named
fop-fonts.cache in the home directory.

Re: Strange fop/batik font problem with apache in webapp.
Posted by Müller,
Wolfgang <mu...@googlemail.com>.
Dear Sergiu, dear Terence,
I am running grails in my home, so that is unfortunately not the problem. I
tried to set the home, which did not have any impact :-(.
I am running the following code with log level trace for all classes org
and all classes com
println "----START SHOWING JAVA-VISIBLE FONTS"
def l =
java.awt.GraphicsEnvironment.getLocalGraphicsEnvironment().getAllFonts();
for(def i:l){
println "FONT ${i}";
}
println "----START RUNNING TEST TRANSCODER"
InputStream ins= new java.io.ByteArrayInputStream(svg.getBytes());
TranscoderInput transcoderInput = new TranscoderInput(ins);
TranscoderOutput transcoderOutput = new TranscoderOutput(new
ByteArrayOutputStream());// yes, i throw away the PDF
transcoder.transcode(transcoderInput,transcoderOutput);
println "----FINISH RUNNING TEST TRANSCODER"
The output I get is:
----START SHOWING JAVA-VISIBLE FONTS
FONT java.awt.Font[family=Serif,name=Serif,style=plain,size=1]
FONT java.awt.Font[family=SansSerif,name=SansSerif,style=plain,size=1]
[and much much more lines like that, effectively all my installed fonts]
then
----START RUNNING TEST TRANSCODER

These are the PDF default fonts, AFAICS.
In any case I am noting that I do not see any cache building in the trace
log.
Any more suggestions?
Many thanks for your help so far :-)

Hi, Wolfgang-
You might also try defining user.home as a system property of the Tomcat
JVM (e.g. -Duser.home=c:\fop) and checking to ensure the Tomcat user has
write access to that directory.

Depending on how your tomcat is configured, one problem that I've
encountered in the past is that on some Linux distributions Tomcat runs
as the "tomcat" user, and that user doesn't have a home folder where it
can write. FOP tries to create a .fop directory in the home folder of
the current user, and since that's not possible, it fails to register fonts.
Just to check if this is what's happening in your case, you could
configure tomcat to run as the root user. However, for security reasons
don't just leave it running as root, switch back to the tomcat user and
try configure a writable home directory for it.
Another possible cause is that you didn't specify an absolute path to
the custom fonts, and FOP looks for them starting from a different
directory.
