Apache Fop Exception

votes

I am using fop to tranform fo file to pdf. See Exception:

org.apache.fop.fo.ValidationException: Invalid property encountered on "fo:block-container": display (See position 44:73)

I use jTidy to convert xhtml and xalan to convert xhtml to fo file with xsl style from antennahouse.

It is line 44 of fo file:

<fo:block-container role="html:div" display="inline-block" width="30px"><fo:block start-indent="0pt" end-indent="0pt">Prov:</fo:block></fo:block-container>

How to solve this. Thanks.

         Tidy T=new Tidy();
         T.setXHTML(true);
         Document D = T.parseDOM(FIS,FOS);

         //xalan
         DOMSource xmlDomSource = new DOMSource(D);
         DOMResult domResult = new DOMResult();
         Transformer transformerXalan = getTransformer("D:\\Test\\xhtml2fo-xsl-read-only\\xhtml2fo.xsl");
         transformerXalan.transform(xmlDomSource, new StreamResult(new FileOutputStream("D:\\result.fo")));

         //fop
         FopFactory fopFactory = FopFactory.newInstance();
         OutputStream out = new BufferedOutputStream(new FileOutputStream(new File("D:/myfile.pdf")));
         org.apache.fop.apps.Fop fop = fopFactory.newFop(MimeConstants.MIME_PDF, out);
         TransformerFactory factory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
         Transformer transformer = factory.newTransformer(); // identity transformer
         Source src = new StreamSource(new File("D:\\result.fo"));
         Result res = new SAXResult(fop.getDefaultHandler());

         out.close();
      } catch (Exception e) {
         e.printStackTrace();
      }

FOP is telling you that the property "display" is not a valid xsl-fo property: you have to remove it. – lfurini
Thank you. I removed display property in style in xhtml file and walkthrough this error but output dont keep css style. – sonas sonas
You'd have to be a bit more specific than "dont keep css style". What exactly is wrong with the output? Also, your question lacks your original XHTML input, your XSLT code (or XSL-FO code) - and what the expected result would look like. – Mathias Müller

So, you are using an XSLT stylesheet from AntennaHouse to convert xhtml to fo, and then using Apache FOP to produce the pdf output.

A comment at the beginning of those stylesheets states that (emphasis added):

Since this stylesheet is originally developed by Antenna House to be used with XSL Formatter, it may not be compatible with another XSL-FO processors.

So, it should not come as a surprise that other formatters have issues with their output; in particular, XSL Formatter supports CSS properties (and display among them) while FOP doesn't.

However, the desired output (inline-stacked areas with a fixed width) can be achieved by using standard fo elements and properties, in particular inline-containers:

<fo:block>
    <!-- first "inline block" -->
    <fo:inline-container role="html:div" width="40px">
        <fo:block start-indent="0pt" end-indent="0pt" background-color="#AAFFFF">Alpha</fo:block>
    </fo:inline-container>
    <!-- second "inline block" -->
    <fo:inline-container role="html:div" width="40px">
        <fo:block start-indent="0pt" end-indent="0pt" background-color="#FFAAFF">Beta</fo:block>
    </fo:inline-container>
    <!-- third "inline block" -->
    <fo:inline-container role="html:div" width="40px">
        <fo:block start-indent="0pt" end-indent="0pt" background-color="#FFFFAA">A a a a a a a</fo:block>
    </fo:inline-container>
    ...
</fo:block>

Edit: I forgot to mention that the suggested solution works with the trunk version of FOP, as the implementation of fo:inline-container was completed after the release of FOP 1.1.
