Description
Here is a fun thing with fop:
I have an application that gets run from the command line (no app server). It
currently uses 'java -cp
jar1.har:jar2.jar:fop.jar:xmlgraphics-common.jar:batik.jar Mainclass'
This works fine, the app loads and runs.
Now we decided to switch the application to be run directly from a jar using the
Class-Path: manifest attribute to execute. This means, that the Mainclass is now
in the main.jar and contains a manifest like this:
Main-Class: Mainclass
Class-Path: ../lib/jar1.jar ../lib/jar2.jar ../lib/fop.jar
../lib/xmlgraphics-common.jar ../lib/fop.jar
The "../lib" is the relative path from the main.jar to the dependency libs. We
also index the jar and its classpath using the <indexjars> element of the ant
jar task.
Now the application can be run with "java -jar main.jar"
All this works well, the dependencies are found, etc. However, as soon as the
PDF should get rendered, it reports the dreaded 'don't know how to handle
application/pdf' exception.
It seems that the Service class inside xmlgraphics-commons is not able to load
its settings if an application is packaged in this way.
