How to include an external graphic using a relative path
Using FOP, I succesfully wrote a servlet to generate PDF's from in-memory DOM object's containing XSL-FO markup.
I able to embed graphics files by specifying a physical path as in:
<fo:external-graphic src="url(/project/img/image.gif)"/>
However, since this is a web application, I need to be able to specify a relative path for the image file.
Thanks for you help,

Just a reminder that getRealPath( ... ) is allowed to return null if the
application is deployed for example in a war file, according to the
servlet spec. This advice is hence likely to work, but it is not portable.

You can define baseDir property (see faq howto) as
getServletContext().getRealPath("/project/img") and then use relative
pathes in fo:external-graphic.
