Description

Hi,

In order to make this discussion as an official issue (http://www.nabble.com/PDF-not-working-correctly-in-deployed-WAR-file-on-Tomcat-td15295911.html) i post a JIRA.

Bug information :

Tools : apache-tomcat-6.0.18 + apache-forrest-0.8 + java-1.6
OS : Windows XP and CentOs (a RedHat)

Step to reproduce
1/ Download apache-forrest-0.8 (Actual release)
2/ Downlaod apache-tomcat-6-0.18 (Actual release)
3/ Use java 1.6 (Actual release)
4/ forrest seed (To create sample forrest site)
5/ forrest war (to create WAR sample forrest site)
6/ put the .war in the tomcat webapps folder
7/ Launch sample forrest application from tomcat
8/ Go to any page with any image of this war sample forrest site
9/ Try to see it in PDF version
10/ See that you don't have image displayed


The issue is that, images are not displayed .. Any image (gif, png, jpg). This issue is only in case of a deployed WAR, that works fine in jetty.

Here are some clues about the issue :


When i take a look in the graphical section of the .fo file I can see that :
fo:external-graphic src="context:///project/src/documentation/content/xdocs/mySpecificProject/conception/specificModule/fonctionnal/../resource/anImage.jpg"

And when I take a look in my WEB-INF/logs/core.log i can see that :
 http-8080-1/ExternalGraphic: Error while creating area : Error with image URL: context:/project/src/documentation/content/xdocs/mySpecificProject/conception/specificModule/fonctionnal/../resource/anImage.jpg (No such file or directory) and no base URL is specified


I think that is a serious issue, and I would like your opinion about it.

Thanks
