Mime type not getting set for fo2pdf serialization

Hi all,
I’m getting bad output from my fo2pdf serialization (I’ve pasted a
sample below).  Based on an old thread (HYPERLINK
"http://www.mail-archive.com/cocoon-users@xml.apache.org/msg12064.html"h
ttp://www.mail-archive.com/cocoon-users@xml.apache.org/msg12064.html) I
gather that the problem is that the mime type is not getting set for
some reason so the browser is outputting raw pdf code.  My serializer
setup is below, and is setting the mime type, so I am stumped as to what
the problem is.  Any hints would be much appreciated.
 
Thanks,
David
 
 
Here’s the serializer setup:
    <map:serializer name="fo2pdf"
 
src="org.apache.cocoon.serialization.FOPSerializer"
                      mime-type="application/pdf">
        <user-config>C:/java/hibapp2/fop-fonts/config.xml</user-config>
    </map:serializer>
 
And the pipeline:
    <map:match pattern="*.pdf">
        <map:generate type="file" src="invoice.xml" />
        <map:transform type="xalan" src="test.xsl" />
        <map:serialize type="fo2pdf" />
    </map:match>
 
And here’s the garbage output I get:
%PDF-1.3 %ª«¬­ 4 0 obj << /Type /Info /Producer (FOP 0.20.5) >> endobj 5
0 obj << /Length 90 /Filter [ /ASCII85Decode /FlateDecode ] >> stream

Hi David:


I guess you are trying to see the PDF in a Windows machine. Sometimes IE
has some problems in running the PDF reader. I dont know why, but seems to
be because IE uses file extension instead of mime-type.

Try to download the file and check if you can then open it with your PDF
Reader. If this works. The problem is not related to Cocoon. To solve this
problem I suggest you to reinstall the PDF reader. Sometimes it solves the
problem in some machines.

Second guess: Your pipeline looks good. Try to remove the <user-config>
tag. What you have there?

If the above does not work, then another approach I recomend you is: step
slow with PDF generation. First do a simple test to see if there is no
error in a simple page.




Best Regards,

Antonio Gallardo.

Thanks very much for the tips Antonio.  Actually, on my setup the
transformation explicitly bombs out with an exception if Batik isn't in
the path.  Anyway, I wound up resolving the issue by calling
response.setContentType("application/pdf"); within my business class
before forwarding to cocoon.  I have no idea why I can't just rely on
the fo2pdf serializer to set the mime type, but, hey, it works.

Thanks again,
David Benoff

Hi David:

I am back, to provide you another tip ;)

FOP block depends on Batik block. Do you have Batik block included in
your
Cocoon build? If not, then you don't got any error but it simply does
not
work.

Best Regards,

Antonio Gallardo
