Fop 2.3 on oracle database 12c (linux)

[Sylvain Pointeau]

Dear all,

I loaded all necessary classes for FOP 2.3 to run within a stored procedure
in Oracle.

if I refer to a simple configuration file (below), the PDF is generated but
the fonts are replaced.

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<fop version="1.0">

<use-cache>false</use-cache>

<!-- Base URL for resolving relative URLs -->
<base>.</base>

<!-- Information for specific renderers -->
<!-- Uses renderer mime type for renderers -->
<renderers>
<renderer mime="application/pdf">
<filterList>
<!-- provides compression using zlib flate (default is on) -->
<value>flate</value>
</filterList>

<fonts>
<!-- auto-detect fonts -->
<!--<auto-detect/>-->
</fonts>

</renderer>
</renderers>
</fop>

It is running on a restricted server so I can grant read for some file but
not write access and not access to all directories.
I had to remove the auto-detect for the font otherwise I had a oracle error
suggesting a grant with an empty folder

dbms_java.grant_permission( 'MY_SCHEMA', 'SYS:java.io.FilePermission', '',
'read' )


As I disabled the cache and the auto detect at the same time, I don't know
what exactly is the issue.


Do you have any recommendation on permissions for folders?

What would you recommend for FOP to get the fonts?


Best regards,

Sylvain
