FOP + Cocoon -- Inconsistent Response?
Hi,
I'm generating a dynamic PDF file using a namespace taglib, and a XSL
transform using FOP (I've got snippets of each file included below).
However, I am struggling because I cannot seem to get my PDF get generated
consistently... Oftentimes, a request from the browser will time-out, but
at other times, it works perfectly. The page is dependant upon request
variables, and when I send illegal values through the URL, it *always*
causes a Cocoon error. So, the problem occurs somewhere after the XSP
processing, it seems...
I have tried each of the Cocoon FAQ suggestions for getting IE to work
correctly with FOP generated PDFs, but this problem is plaguing every
browser that I have (and creating a servlet and/or changing the file
extension to ".pdf" has not helped with the consistency). This is running
on a Redhat Linux 7 box with a PIII 600 CPU and 256 MB of RAM -- I've
noticed that I'm using all of my memory (with just a few megs in swap).
Could that be the problem?
Thanks for any suggestions that anyone might have...
I am using Cocoon 1.8, Tomcat 3.2 b6, FOP 0.13 (I didn't end up upgrading to
Tomcat 4, Cocoon 2 and the latest FOP CVS, just because I was nervous about
using so many bleeding edge components -- I need to go live with this stuff
in January!). Thanks you!

Posted by Scott Jones <sc...@izio.com>.
Hi everybody,
I just wanted to let you know that I've discovered that my application works
perfectly as soon as I stop embedding images into my PDF file... Does that
make any sense at all? (Again, I'm still using FOP 0.13 with Cocoon 1.8).
Thanks again for building such a sweet tool. :)
Cheers,
Scott
