FOP and float

843834Jul 22 2004 — edited Jul 22 2004
Hi All,

I've just started looking into using FOP for generating PDFs from classes in my java code.
I first had a go with the Apache's FOP engine. The problem I had with this one is that the Float attribute is not yet implemented in this engine.

What im trying to do is to "float" an image on the left hand side and have some text/image aligned next to it (Im trying to do things you normally do when using float).

My questions is:
* Are there any other way to achieve what float does, providing you are using the Apache Fop Engine.

Next task for me is to generate a table of content. Still haven't looked into that and I don't know to what extent Apache supporting this.

Ps. I know that RendeX has got a really nice FOP Engine, which implements all of the attributes(i think) from the XSL1.0 spec. However, this product doesn't come too cheap.

Thanks for any suggestions,

Erik

Hi,

Sample DB installer are no longer available on Oracle eDelivery Cloud. For getting the sample DB, you have to download patchset 5 of Siebel 15 from "Patches & Updates" section of My Oracle Support portal (Patch Id: 22081062) and extract the network image using SNIC as usual. You might notice that SNIC now offers ORACLE XE Local and Sample Database.

Also if you select the ORACLE XE options while creating network image and inspect the network image folders, you will miss separate installers. This is because the Sample Database installer for Oracle XE is included with the Siebel (Mobile/Developer) Web Client and the Local Database installer is included with Siebel Tools.

So when you run the Siebel Web Client installer for the Patchset installation, you can choose to include the sample database, which is silently installed. Please try installing web client and let us know if it gives you the option to choose to include sample database.

For more details, please refer bookshelf:

Hope this information helps.

Thanks & Regards,

Does this mean now "Generate New Database" job will always fail because it depends on SQL Anywhere Engine which is no longer part of the installer?
