FOP and Cocoon URL question

[Berin Loritsch <bl...@d-haven.org>]

I can't seem to reference a graphic in my FO document to be included in 
my PDF document.
The problem is that the graphic is generated on the fly--and only really 
accessible through a
"cocoon" URL.  I can't seem to make it work, and I can't seem to find 
any documentation to
help me on my way.

Can anyone lend a hand?

Great, thanks for the news!

It might be good to leave people the option of using the "old" 0.20.x 
block, either via a configuration switch or by having two separate 
blocks.

I can imagine people with existing apps will want to continue using FOP 
0.20.x for a while if it works for them.

Yes, that's right. But the new FOP should be able to handle these
requirements. You will be able to set a URIResolver which wraps the
Excalibur Source instances in a JAXP (Stream)Source instances. The bad
message is that the API will be quite different making a block rewrite
necessary. I'll look into that when the first preview/alpha release is
out.

FYI, I think FOP are close to a first release candidate of their 
long-awaited V1.x, if someone has an itch to scratch it might be a good 
time to do something with them about this.

Hello Berin,

that's a really old issue with FOP integration in Cocoon and a very 
frequently asked question :)

http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=15316

FOP does not use Cocoon's source resolver.
