#23 Fop: embedding for loading Options file

[Anonymous]

Hi all!

Documentation says that you have to do this to include the configuration file in the program:
----
import org.apache.fop.apps.Options;

/*..*/

userConfigFile = new File(userConfig);
options = new Options(userConfigFile);

----

On java FOP 0.20.5 but this does not exists on NFOP.

Would it be difficult to port?
I need this in order to generate barcodes. I need to add a new font to the userconfig and the application is embedded into mine. So need to load the configuration.

Is there any workaound?

Thank you

org.apache.fop.configuration.ConfigurationReader reader = new org.apache.fop.configuration.ConfigurationReader(
new org.xml.sax.InputSource(new java.io.FileInputStream("userconfig.xml")));
reader.start();

This code should be executed only once (on application startup, for example).

I'm getting error with this...
"No se puede continuar: Le format du chemin d'accès donné n'est pas pris en charge."
It's a mix of spanish an french, sorry:

"The format of the path of access is not supported"

I tried some and does not work...

-----------------------------------
<configuration>
<fonts>
<font metrics-file="file://BARCODE12.xml"
kerning="yes"
embed-file="file://c:/Windows/fonts/N01BC12M.TTF">
<font-triplet name="Barcode12" style="normal" weight="normal"/>
</font>
</fonts>
</configuration>

Try this:
---------------
<font metrics-file="file://C:\App\fonts\arial.xml" kerning="yes"
embed-file="file://C:\Windows\Fonts\arial.ttf">
<font-triplet name="Arial" style="normal" weight="normal"/>
</font>
---------------

or (if "arial.xml" is stored in the same dir, where userconfig.xml):

---------------
<font metrics-file="arial.xml" kerning="yes"
embed-file="file://C:\Windows\Fonts\arial.ttf">
<font-triplet name="Arial" style="normal" weight="normal"/>
</font>
---------------

Ok man. But this does not work...

The user config is loaded correctly but inside userconfig.xml fails on:
metrics-file="file:///BARCODE12.xml"

Any clue on this?

And If I use relative paths it complains saying (none protocol used)

This is what happens using relative paths...

Failed to read a font metrics file: Invalid font metrics file: BARCODE12.xml (aucun protocole)

It works for me.

Probably you have a wrong config or another version of j#-runtime.
Send me your userconfig.xml, BARCODE12.xml and N01BC12M.TTF.ttf on hugbug@public-files.de.
I'll check it out.

The problem is at buildURL:
----
if (spec == null) throw new NullPointerException("spec must not be null");
File f = new File(spec);
if (f.exists()) {
return new URL(f.toString());
} else {
URL u1 = new URL(spec);
return u1;
}
----

if at file you use a ftp:// or http:// it fails because can't open the file with the protocol
if you don't use it, it fails at URL(f.toString()) because can't construct the URL without the protocol

I can send you the complete project if you want but I touched the paths so you must touch the xmls

Setting it as:

if (spec == null) throw new NullPointerException("spec must not be null");
File f = new File(spec);
if (f.exists()) {
return new URL("file://" + f.toString());
} else {
URL u1 = new URL(spec);
return u1;
}

Works but it's not ideal solution...

Relative paths actually do not work. I forget to add, that I set the variable "fontBaseDir" in the config-file, if I use font-filenames without paths:
------------
<configuration>
<entry>
<key>fontBaseDir</key>
<value>file://C:\app\fonts\&lt;/value>
</entry>
<fonts>
<font metrics-file="arial.xml" kerning="yes">
<font-triplet name="Arial" style="normal" weight="normal"/>
</font>
</fonts>
</configuration>
-----------

The good news is that the "fontBaseDir"-variable can be set at run-time:
----------
ConfigurationReader reader = new ConfigurationReader(
new InputSource(new java.io.FileInputStream(Path.Combine(nFopConfigDir, "userconfig.xml"))));
reader.start();
if (Configuration.getBaseURL() == null)
{
Configuration.put("baseDir", "file://" + nFopConfigDir + "\\");
}

----------
In this example I use "baseDir" instead of "baseFontDir". If "baseDir" set and "baseFontDir" is not, the "baseDir" is used for fonts also. You can set both variables, if you need them to have different values.
