Draft Mode background image - should it work in off-the-shelf fop ?

["Kerry, Richard" <ri...@siemens.com>]

 
I've recently been trying to produce a draft version of a document,
originating in DocBook.
 
I am now reasonably confident that fop can read draft.png from
SourceForge.  Initially it was failing to do so but since I've told Java
to use a proxy (using -Dhttp.proxyHost and -Dhttp.proxyPort) it's
stopped complaining that it can't.  However, I am not seeing the
background watermark, nor any 'Draft' strings in the corners which I
think I've read should be there.
 
Should I expect all this to happen with an off-the-shelf Fop 0.95 ?  The
documentation suggests there may be some extra downloads needed for
graphics functionality but this shouldn't be an issue for the 'Draft'
strings in the corners should it ?  Is it an issue for the watermark ?
 
 
Uncetainly,
Richard.

I see that you have solved your problem, but for what it's worth,
you are probably right. I've never tested it. 
I usually keep my images in a directory within the directory
containing the XML source, so that I can use relative paths
such as images/draft.png.

Set the draft.mode parameter to yes. If you want to use a local image
as the watermark, set draft.watermark.image to /path/to/local/image-file.
