[OT] Virus warnings, was: Re: [PATCH] FopServlet WAR

I apologize in advance for being off-topic!

I received four virus warnings upon sending my patch last night. They
all had the following style:

Subject: Norton AntiVirus detected a virus in a message you sent.  The inf ected attachment was deleted.

Recipient of the infected attachment: <anonymize was="recipient's name"/>
Subject of the message:  [PATCH] FopServlet WAR
One or more attachments were deleted
  Attachment fopservlet.zip was Deleted for the following reasons:
    Virus UNAUTHORIZED FILE was found.
    Virus UNAUTHORIZED FILE was found.

That's pretty strange. I haven't sent a virus, have I?

Cheers,

pdf bean

Posted by Ralph LaChance <Ra...@compuserve.com>.
Hello,

Somewhat off topic, but since this shapes up as the largest collective body
of pdf-ers outside of Adobe, I hope not to offend.

Anyone know of a pdf-rendering components (java) ?

Some time ago (2 years?) Adobe released a beta bean without support.
While it is buggy, it one is careful, it will do a good job of rendering basic
pdf content on a Component (or Canvas).  The bean has not been updated
since then; it remains unsupported by Adobe, and -- several exchanges
with Adobe later -- I know of no way to obtain source short of decompilation.

Does any of you know of another candidate component ?   I've cast a large
net to no success, but perhaps I missed something obvious.

We've even tried to imagine using Adobe's browser plugin, but we
can't quite get there.

Goal is simple:  take a pdf file and render it in a Component or JComponent.

(btw: Starting from xml in the general case is not an option, so although we
use fop in production, it won't serve here.)

	Thanks for any suggestions

	'best
	-Ralph LaChance

Hi, Jeremias

McAfee on my machine did not complain about your attachment.

Although in theory it's possible that Norton naively detected a dubious
binary sequence in that ZIP, it seems to me from the messages that maybe it
is set to reject ZIPs, or something along those lines. I am going off the
"UNAUTHORIZED FILE" message. That seems a bit different from saying, "I
found a possible virus". Some of the messages are confusing but that stems
from the fact that they are calling _every_ problem a virus.

Regards,
AHS
