Programmatically set hyphenation-base

[Arturo Perez <ap...@hayesinc.com>]

Hi all,

I've pored over the documentation for 0.92beta but I don't see any API for setting the hyphenation-base user configuration parameter, unlike the situation with font-base.

Is there in fact no way to set it when FOP is embedded in a servlet?  If so, any suggestions for what I should set it to?

tia,
arturo

Indeed there seems to be no convenient way to set the hyphenation base.

The hard way probably goes like this:
  import org.apache.avalon.framework.configuration.DefaultConfiguration;
  ...
  DefaultConfiguration cfg = new DefaultConfiguration("")
  DefaultConfiguration hyphBase = cfg.getChild("hyphenation-base",true);
  hyphBase.setValue("a base url or directory");
  FopFactory factory =  FopFactory.newInstance();
  factory.setUserConfig(cfg);
  ... create FO processor and so on ...

You can (should) add other configuration options to cfg as well.
Beware: completely untested and based on wild guesses as well as
http://excalibur.apache.org/apidocs/org/apache/avalon/framework/configuration/DefaultConfiguration.html
and other docs.

Have fun!
