problems with fo:external-graphic

[Michael Schifferdecker <mi...@gmx.de>]

Hello all,

I have a problem with fo:external-graphic.

I use a Servlet to do PDF generation together with a test style sheet which
produces FO-code in which the following fo:external-graphic is contained:

...
<fo:external-graphic src="file:///c:/xml_space/lohnsteuer/fd_logo.gif"
height="0.58cm" width="2.71cm"/>
...

When I use this under jBuilder with integrated Apache Tomcat 3.2 to include
the GIF fd_logo.gif into the PDF everything works fine.

But: after the whole application is distributed to my stand alone Tomcat 4.0
server problems occur (see following exception).
The error occurs with FOP 0.20.2RC and with 0.20.3 also.

What's the cause for this?
What alternatives do I have?

Best regards, Michael
