regarding version 0.20.5

[Jignesh-NX01880 Kapadia <Ji...@us.michelin.com>]

Hi ,
      We are using a fop version 0.20.4 currently. and its not stable. its
really slow and as per suggested by the experienced users here 0.20.5 is latest
stable release version. 

Are there any API changes from 0.20.4 to 0.20.5? 
Do we have to download the new versions of xalan.jar and xerces.jar along with
this version?
 
 It seems when one fo the developer here replaced the fop0.20.4.jar file with
fop0.20.5 and restarted the application. It did not start and gave him some API
exception in the logs.


Thanks and Appreciate your help,
Jignesh

I ran into a problem with the "setLogger()" method.  The argument had 
changed and it could not be simply cast to the new argument type.  My 
test system is running 0.20.5 and the production system is running 
0.20.4.  To work around this I use reflection.  I've send a dozen 
e-mail to the IT staff requesting them to upgrade FOP.

private void mySetLogger() {

Hierarchy hierarchy = Hierarchy.getDefaultHierarchy();
Formatter formatter = new PatternFormatter("[%{priority}]: 
%{message}<BR>");

LogTarget target = new StreamTarget(reportSession.baos, formatter);

hierarchy.setDefaultLogTarget(target);
Logger logger = hierarchy.getLoggerFor("FORenderer");
logger.setPriority(Priority.INFO);


// Try FOP 0.20.3, if not exception will be thrown otherwise will will 
return

try {
		
	Class fopDriverClass = Class.forName("org.apache.fop.apps.Driver");
	Class logkitLogger = Class.forName("org.apache.log.Logger");
	Method setLogerMethod  = fopDriverClass.getDeclaredMethod("setLogger", 
new Class[] { logkitLogger });
			
	setLogerMethod.invoke(foProcessor, new Object[] { logger });
			
	// Return now if we were successfull
	return;

} catch (Exception e) { }

		
// Try FOP 0.20.5
		
try {
			
	Class fopDriverClass = Class.forName("org.apache.fop.apps.Driver");
	Class avalonLogger = 
Class.forName("org.apache.avalon.framework.logger.Logger");
	Method setLogerMethod  = fopDriverClass.getDeclaredMethod("setLogger", 
new Class[] { avalonLogger });
											
	foProcessor.setLogger(new LogKitLogger(logger));

} catch (Exception e) { }
}

The API is compatible.

Not necessarily. Use the versions which work for your tasks.

You'll have to use the Batik jar which comes with the FOP
distribution.

I'll leave this one to someone who is more familiar with 0.20.4, but...

... the versions included with the distribution should be used.

Can you send us a few of the stack traces of these exceptions? This would be
very useful in determining where the problem is located. In any case, just
replacing the jar is not sufficient.


Cheers,

Andreas
