Problem transforming DITA to PDF (incompatable types)

[rcfiv]

I have an XSLT that is working fine outside of oXygen author (v 15.2). I suspect my problem has to do with my jar files conflicting with oXygen's jar files. Here's the error I am getting:

Code: Select all

java.lang.ClassCastException: net.sourceforge.jeuclid.fop.JEuclidXMLHandler incompatible with org.apache.fop.render.XMLHandler

	at org.apache.fop.render.XMLHandlerRegistry.discoverXMLHandlers(XMLHandlerRegistry.java:153)

	at org.apache.fop.render.XMLHandlerRegistry.<init>(XMLHandlerRegistry.java:49)

	at com.ibm.itso.gasm.gpt.oXygen.plugin.transforms.TransformDeliverableThread.run(TransformDeliverableThread.java:231)

The code I use for transformation is:

Code: Select all

        // Determine if there are options set for rendering pdf

        System.setProperty("javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory", "net.sf.saxon.TransformerFactoryImpl");

        FopFactory fopFactory = FopFactory.newInstance();

        if ( options != null ) {

            // Determine if file or url

            if ( !isOptsAURL ) fopFactory.setUserConfig((File)options);

            else {

                // Set in factory

                URL optUrl = (URL) options;

                fopFactory.setUserConfig(optUrl.getProtocol() + "://" + optUrl.getHost() + optUrl.getPath());

            }

        }

        

        // Create driver and set output file

        Fop fop = fopFactory.newFop(MimeConstants.MIME_PDF, fopFactory.newFOUserAgent(), new java.io.FileOutputStream(destination));



        // transform file

        TransformerFactory tFactory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();

        Transformer transform = tFactory.newTemplates(new StreamSource(xslt)).newTransformer();

        for ( NameValuePair pair : params ) {

            transform.setParameter(pair.getName(), pair.getValue());

        }

        transform.setParameter("versionParam", "2.0");

        transform.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.ENCODING, encoding);

        transform.transform(new StreamSource(this),new SAXResult(fop.getDefaultHandler()));

        System.clearProperty("javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory");

        fopFactory = null;

        fop = null;

        tFactory = null;

        transform = null;

I'm including fop 1.1 jar in my plugin. Here's a list of my included jar files:

Hi,

Oxygen comes with lots of libraries (among which Xerces, Xalan, FOP 1.1) so ideally you would remove these libraries from your plugin (use them only in the compilation stage):

Code: Select all

<library name="lib/fop.jar"/>

....

<library name="lib/serializer-2.7.0.jar"/>

...

<library name="lib/xalan-2.7.0.jar"/>

....

<library name="lib/xercesImpl-2.7.1.jar"/>

or as I see you have set up in the plugin.xml to prefer the local referenced resources classLoaderType="preferReferencedResources" you could continue adding JARs in it, for example also add in it a reference to your own copies of the jeuclid-core.jar and jeuclid-fop.jar libraries which right now are loaded on the parent class loader.

Actually, I tried removing the reference to FOP from my plugin and it worked. However, now it's not releasing the PDF file. So I can't open the PDF until I shutdown oXygen Author. Do you know a way around this?

Hi,

In the sample code you posted you are creating a new file output stream.
You should keep that created file output stream in a variable and make sure to close the stream at the end, after the generation is finished.

Good idea, I'll give that a try.

That worked! Thanks!
