external-graphics in xsl and PDF
Hi cocooner
I'm trying to import a jpeg file in a xsl file in order to generate a pdf with beautifull graphics :
I use <fo:external-graphics src="file:../images/file.jpg"/> but it don't works
Have someone a working synthaxis in a xsl sample
Thank's and Happy new Year 2002 and a lot of brand new euro for european people ;-))

BTW, I asked some days ago on the fop-dev list if this is the only way of
setting this parameter, because
in this mail I read:

Haven't recieved a reply yet. So I supposed that the config it this static
stuff only.
In fact, looking in the Options class in FOP I found:
// set base directory
String baseDir = Configuration.getStringValue("baseDir");
if (baseDir == null) {
try {
baseDir =
new
File(clOptions.getInputFile().getAbsolutePath()).getParentFile().toURL().toE
xternalForm();
Configuration.put("baseDir", baseDir);
} catch (Exception e) {}
}
if (errorDump) {
//log.debug("base directory: " + baseDir);
}
So yes, it's static. :-/
I'm doing a patch for the current proposal, but I got stuck at a seemingly
trivial point.
How do I get the context path from a Serializer?
Is it
Constants.DEFAULT_CONTEXT_DIR
or
context.get(Constants.DEFAULT_CONTEXT_DIR)
or
((org.apache.cocoon.environment.Context)
context.get
(Constants.CONTEXT_ENVIRONMENT_CONTEXT)
)).getAttribute(Constants.DEFAULT_CONTEXT_DIR)
or
something-more-deeply-nested ;-)
Heck, how many Contexts are there?

Hm... that's ugly! So we cannot really change this inside the pipeline
in the serializer setup.

Well, I'm not quite sure if it makes sense to introduce a parameter for
this. It will be deprecated sooner or later anyway (when the fop
configuration is not static anymore).
So I'd propose to set the fop basedir on serializer setup to the servlet
context dir. Although still quite ugly this is half-way. But we should
make clear that this is a interim sollution that will changed sooner
or later. So this should definitly only make it into HEAD.
But it helps...
So I'm +1 for the servlet context dir as basedir

Ok so Configuration is static and here is the relevant code taken from the
FOP ant task:
org.apache.fop.configuration.Configuration.put("baseDir",
task.getFofile().getParentFile().toURL().toExternalForm());
It should be set in the Serializer setup.
What do you think is better to put as a relative value?
The problem is that Configuration is static for now, so I can to set the
base dir to the Constants.DEFAULT_CONTEXT_DIR or to a configured param;
anyway only one per VM. :-(
I think that the best is a configuration param, so that in the future when
Configuration is not static anymore we don't break contracts; the fixed conf
basedir is used for all if present, if not each file is resolved with its
relative url.

Cool! Will invesitgate further. Maybe we can set the context
path for fop processing then!!
If you already have more insight in this please give me a direct
mail or post to cocoon-dev.
Thanks Nicola! Sounds promising..

Anyway - relative paths will not work with fop.
Try an absolute URI.

Hi Olivier,
I don't know if that was a typo but it is external-graphic (not graphics).
i.e. <fo:external-graphic height="12px" src="{.}"/>
