Pass xsl:param value to FOP through command line
Howdy,
I didn't find this answer in the archives. I'd like to pass an xsl:param
value to FOP. Is this possible? I found some information about doing this
through the use of a servlet, however I'm using *.BAT files (under Windows)
& *.sh scripts (in *NIX). I'd like to be able to pass xsl:param or
xsl:variable values, to effect output.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Well, then wait 0.20.5rc, probably next week.

using fop-0.20.4 I'll check into the cvs version stuff if I can. However, I
doubt my clients will be interested in using a non-release version.

Hmmm, too much as to me. Are you using big images? Which FOP version are
you talking about? I'd try cvs version - some performance patch was applied.

I'd say that not really going to change anything, just + time to
serialize fo to a file + time to read and parse it.

I'll try this. Unfortunately, at this time, my clients are already
complaining about how long it takes to output using FOP. Here's the info
from FOP's debug mode:
[DEBUG] Initial heap size: 1828Kb
[DEBUG] Current heap size: 7003Kb
[DEBUG] Total memory used: 5174Kb
[DEBUG] Memory use is indicative; no GC was performed
[DEBUG] These figures should not be used comparatively
[DEBUG] Total time used: 11116ms
[DEBUG] Pages rendered: 5
[DEBUG] Avg render time: 2223ms/page
Out of curiosity, how do you think these values would be changed if I did
the xalan stuff (passing the parameters & then did the FOP stuff? Do you
think this would increase the overall rendering time? If so, by how much.
(I'd certainly accept estimations).

You right. Probably a warning ar even error should be logged also.

I don't know how many pages. I am printing medical bills, and, depending on
the number of procedures/bill detail items, it could be 1 page or 100
pages. If I knew, then I'd be able to specify this with accuracy, using
single-page-master-reference or something.

I removed all references to LAST after finding this out yesterday. OT: I
sure wish there were a reference to "position=LAST" not being implemented
yet on the FOP "limitations" page.
Actually, the new problem (referenced in a newer e-mail) is that I have my
system set to "end-on-even" but rather than using the EVEN page
simple-page-master stuff for the LAST page, FOP outputs another page using
the ODD simple-page-master, and numbers it "page 6 of 5" in the region-before.

Odd, Even & Last-odd Problem

I'm having a couple of problems with my XSL-FO:
1. My EVEN page is not rendering every other page (EVEN pages). PROBLEM: It
prints at the end of the document.
2. My LAST-ODD page is not rendering. (The difference between ODD and

Won't work. The .BAT is *not* for generating XML. It just prints it. Our
primary app does the XML file generation.

STOP!
I tought about something:
the .bat is for generating the the xml, right?
Then just do like you wanted: take an element call it e.g. <rear/>.
then if rear
<rear>1</rear>
else
<rear>0</rear>
From there it is stylesheet work:
<xsl:if test="rear=1">Backpage</xsl:if>
<xsl:if test="rear=0">front only</xsl:if>

ok, on the fly. But your .bat is sending the files, which should be
printed (front/rear // front). So why not keep a record whether it is
front/rear or front. Then "normal" if bla =true then bothPages else
frontPage.

Re: Pass xsl:param value to FOP through command line
Posted by Clay Leeds <cl...@medata.com>.
That's what I'm trying to do by passing the PARAM in the COMMAND line. It
may just be that I don't completely understand the process. I have a system
which outputs an XML file, and if a setting exists, will print that file
using XSL:FO. I have a 2nd page in the XSL:FO that is static (it's a
government form). If the printer can handle DUPLEX (print on front & back)
then I output the 2nd page. If it does not, then they must purchase
pre-printed paper with the government disclaimer stuff on the back.
I'd like to have my .BAT/.sh script which runs FOP pass a parameter to FOP
so it "knows" whether or not to print the 2nd page. I guess I could set up
the system to always output both pages, but then only "print" ODD pages,
but I have no guarantee that I'll have that much control over the
environment. I do, however have control over the .BAT/.sh script
Thanks for your help!

Re: Pass xsl:param value to FOP through command line
Posted by Thorsten Scherler <th...@wyona.org>.
Sorry, but can't help.
I am using fop within cocoon.
XSP stands for Extensible Server pages.
But if you pass values to fop, can't you insert the params BEFORE
passing it to fop?

No. (at least I don't know what xsp is). My clients have installed JRE 1.4
& FOP, and that is all. I'd rather not have to install other items (if
possible, of course). I'm just wondering if it's possible to pass variable
& param values directly to FOP through the command line.
If it makes any difference my clients intend to run the gamut of output
options: -print, -pcl, -awt, -ps, pdf...
Thanks!

You cannot do it using a command line fop.bat/fop.sh. But you can write your
own script, where first invoke xalan to transform xml+xsl to fo, see xalan
documentation how to run it from command line[1], and then run FOP in -fo mode.
