Hello,

i buy the book "Professional XML Development with Apache Tools" from wrox
compiled the fop example in chapter 3 and don´t get it run in my Tomcat.

i rely on the browser, because i am engage in web development, and besides the url-pattern
in web.xml <snip value="code" src="web.xml">
<servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>XMLServlet</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>/ch03/*</url-pattern>
  </servlet-mapping>
</snip>

the request send from the browser to the webserver with http://localhost:8080/ch03, nothing is happened, only showing Diretory Listing for the two files of xml and xslt on ch03, which the servlet is supposed to transform to pdf via xsl-fo.

The doctype of web.xml is the same i am using with other servlets in tomcat 4.29.

<snip value="code" src="web.xml">
 <filter>
    <filter-name>XSLT Filter</filter-name>
    <filter-class>com.sauria.apachexml.ch3.XSLTFOPServletFilte r</filter-class>
  </filter>

  <filter>
    <filter-name>FOP Filter</filter-name>
    <filter-class>com.sauria.apachexml.ch3.FOPServletFilter</filter-class>
  </filter>


  <filter-mapping>
    <filter-name>FOP Filter</filter-name>
    <servlet-name>XMLServlet</servlet-name>
  </filter-mapping>

  <filter-mapping>
    <filter-name>XSLT Filter</filter-name>
    <servlet-name>XMLServlet</servlet-name>
  </filter-mapping>
</snip>

I have never worked with filter and filter-mapping before, so maybe here lays the problem ?

Everyone knows the trick how to use the XMLServlet in chapter 3?

My log tells everthing ok by starting tomcat

Filter code & this sample could be helpful to resolve

http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/j...2-filters.html

Observe this the following filter-mapping tag contains the "url-pattern" insted your code doen't have and can you try with necessary changes.

<filter-mapping>
    <filter-name>timerFilter</filter-name>
    <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping

Hi,

i try xour sugestion, but it doesn´t work.

i include

 <filter-mapping>
    <filter-name>XSLT Filter</filter-name>
    <url-pattern>/ch03/*</url-pattern>
  </filter-mapping>

in the web.xml, but anyway the url-pattern it is not handled by the servlet ?

now:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

  <servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>XMLServlet</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>/ch03/*</url-pattern>
  </servlet-mapping>

</web-app>

I see only the directory Listing with http://localhost:8080/ch03/
and with http://localhost:8080/ch03/XMLServlet:
The requested resource (/ch03/XMLServlet) is not available.

Hi
I have also not worked with filters
Can we find some help with url

http://www.oracle.com/technology/sam...smfilters.html

Here is the another source of defining the Filters,

http://www.roguewave.com/support/doc...catug/7-8.html

It is clear from the above that only with the particular servlet having filter statements is producing error, otherwise for the other links (other servlets in the same project) your TOMCAT works fine for you.....

Hi,

do you have run this code sample with success?

http://media.wiley.com/product_ancil...plete_code.zip

Please try, i don´t know why i don´t get it run. I can compiled it and install it on my tomcat with the same java they use in the book.
