Problems basic-link in xsl-fo
Hi, I am not sure if this is the right mailing list for the question...
so if it is not, please give me a hint where to post my question.
I am using Cocoon 2.0.4
I got a problem to insert a external link to my xsl file with <fo:basic-link>.
It seems that no one else got a problem like this. So may be I forgot to
define something in the header of the xsl-file or in the sitemap. The
"strange" thing for me is, that without using the <fo:basic-link> the
output into the pdf-format is no problem.
Inserting the <fo:basic-link
external-destination="www.test.org">TEST</fo:basic-link> into my xsl-file
produces an error.. when I comment out this tag, everything works fine and
the pdf file is shown.
So any ideas ?
Thank you in advance
J.

Unlikely.

Well, that's common.
The general strategy is to reduce the complexity of the problem:
1. Get your source XML as a file, if you don't have already.
2. Get a FOP binary distribution. Read the docs on how to run the
command line application and the standalone XSLT transformation
http://xml.apache.org/fop/running.html
3. Run your source XML with your XSLT through Xalan, as described,
in order to get a FO file. Are there problems at this point?
4. Run FOP on the FO file from the last step. Are there problems?
5. Check the FOP FAQ
http://xml.apache.org/fop/faq.html

No, for me it is even impossible to build the PDF. So I will rebuild cocoon
this afternoon. May something is wrong.
It seems that the tag basic-link is non know or accepted by the PDF.
We got also problems to display a gif . And this on to different servers
with two different cocoon releases. May there is a connections. Since I am
not a "Cocoon-Specialist" , there could be also something wrong with the
sitemap. For me is only strange that everything work fine, only if I try to
use the basic-link tag I got the message that the PDF is damaged. I really
do not have a clue ...

There was some discussion a while ago that there are problems with
external http links. THe PDF should display fine though, only clicking
the link results in an obscure error message.
Can you generate the PDF with the FOP CLI?

I tried also http:// but it gives still the error that the pdf is damaged.
In the error-log of cocoon is empty. If I comment out the basic-link tag
(and leave the block tag where it is) every thing
works fine.
<fo:block>
<fo:basic-link
external-destination="http://www.zvon.org">ZVON</fo:basic-link>

You are missing the "http://" from the start of the URL. Otherwise I believe
FOP will assume a "file:/" protocol?
Cheers!
