table break with missing borders
Hi, I'm trying to migrate from fop-0.20.3 to
fop-trunk. We use fop to produce a final report.
With fop-trunk and java 1.4 (also java 1.5), fop
splits tables
across pages (as it should) but does not draw the
bottom border for the table on page 1 nor the top
border for the table on page 2. Without the
bottom/top borders, the report does not look as
professional as it should. The border to outline the
table is assigned to a fo:table element. Borders are
not drawn around each table-row or table-cell in the
table-body portion of the table.
A separate problem with the table borders is how they
seem to vary in width or boldness. The borders
applied are consistent ie border-style="solid"
border-width="0.5pt" border-color="red"; yet, after
rendering in pdf, the vertical border between column 1
and column 2 varies in width/boldness from header row
1 to row2; also, on the 2nd page, the border under
column 1 header is noticably wider/bolder than borders
under column 2 and 3. I rendered to pdf using: java
org.apache.fop.cli.Main break.fo break.pdf
I have included the .fo file used to produce the pdf,
but not the pdf itself. The included .fo is contrived
but illustrates the problem we are having with final
reports; it is worked up
from examples/fo/tables/break.fo. ex:

Indeed, that is the expected behaviour. FOP Trunk is much more
compliant to the XSL Recommendation in this respect.
In short, you need to drop the border-shorthand on the table, and
replace it with border-after/before/start/end. Most important are
border-before-width and border-after-width, that need to specified as:
border-*-width.length="0.5pt"
border-*-width.conditionality="retain"
If you specify them by means of the shorthands (border, border-
width...) or corresponding properties (border-top-width, border-
bottom-width...), then the .conditionality component defaults to
"discard" and cannot be overridden by using the extended, native XSL
properties.

Hmm... that's very strange indeed. There's /something/ different
between the two borders you describe, but I only see it distinctly at
either very low or very high zoom. It seems like a difference of a
pixel or something. I'd have to take a real close look at this to say
what's going on. AFAICT, so this seems to be related to the border-
rendering.
Try applying what I mentioned above, and instead of specifying
borders only on the start- or end-edges, specify half the border on
both.
HTH!
Cheers,
Andreas
