Re: external-graphic src problem

Hi,

first try to fetch an URL of the 'real' world, something like

  http://www.google.com/foobar.jpg

to exclude any other errors,

second set the baseDir-property. 

baseDir is a property used in resolving of relative uris, see faq[1] how 
can
you set it up.

Problem - Cannot render - external-graphic src attribute

 

Using Fop 0.20.5 - Standalone Swing application

 

** Application is a standalone Java Swing application.  Cannot seem to get 
a jpg to render in my pdf unless I hardcode the complete path to the image 
in the external-graphic src attribute. The data in the pdf renders fine, 
just no image.  The image file is located in the same directory as the xsl 
file.

 

I have seen others post similar questions on various mailing lists, most 
with no real solution.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks

 

I have tried the following: (none of these render the image)

If I use the complete path to the image all of these work

 

<fo:block>

            <fo:external-graphic 
src='url("com\some\image\path\image.jpg")'>

            </fo:external-graphic>

</fo:block>

[ERROR] Error while creating area : Error with image URL: 
com\some\image\path\image.jpg (The system cannot find the path specified) 
and no base URL is specified

 

also tried these src values, and some others that did not work. (The error 
received follows each)

 

            <fo:external-graphic src='url("file:com\some\image\path\image.jpg")'>

            [ERROR] Error while creating area : Error with image URL: 
com\some\image\path\image.jpg (The system cannot find the path specified) 
and no      base URL is specified

            

            <fo:external-graphic 
src='url("file:///com\some\image\path\image.jpg")'>

            [ERROR] Error while creating area : Error with image URL:

and no     base URL is specified

 

            <fo:external-graphic 
src="file:///com\some\image\path\image.jpg">

            [ERROR] Error while creating area : Error with image URL:

            <fo:external-graphic src="file://image.jpg">
