Base URL Issue

#26325

Dear Sirs,

I am trying to render a PDF on a server other than the web server.

I need to access a resource such as g:/acme/web/ (css or images)
such that I would get the following result
file:/g:/acme/web/images/dot_000000.png

I have tried the following with the each result listed:
URL base = new URL(“file:/g:/acme/web);
image not yet in cache: file:/images/dot_000000.png

URL base = new URL(“file://g:/acme/web”);
not yet in cache: file://g:/images/dot_000000.png

URL base = new URL(“file://g://acme//web”);
not yet in cache: file://g:/images/dot_000000.png

URL base = new URL(“file:///g://acme//web”);
not yet in cache: file:/images/dot_000000.png

URL base = new URL(“file:///g:/acme/web”);
not yet in cache: file:/images/dot_000000.png

Every time it appears that the “acme/web” is dropped from the path. Can you point me to the correct Base URL format?

Thank you,
Mica

URL base = new URL(“file:/g:/acme/web);

should work if the image SRC defined as “images/image.png”, not as “/images/image.png”

#27831

The css and images are stored root web folder like “/images/image.png”.

How can this be resolved?

#27832

An information regarding the mapping of the root web folder to the physical file system is known only to the web application container. So the container/server should be somehow taken into the path resolving. There are two methods:

• Request the resources via HTTP. In your case it is going to be a definition of URL base = new URL(“http://yourserver/”);
• Let PD4ML to talk to the server directly with pd4ml.useServletContext(ServletContext ctx)

For now, modifying the html with the following works to remove the leading slash

[language=java:2cbj9nop]data = data.replaceAll(“src=”/images/”, “src=”images/”);
data = data.replaceAll(“href=”/style/”, “href=”style/”);[/language:2cbj9nop]
and the following javascript in the page will set a ‘checked’ into the html

[language=Java:2cbj9nop]function processFormData(oForm) {
var e, i = 0;
while (e = oForm.elements[i++]) {
if (e.type == 'checkbox') {
if (e.checked == true) {
e.defaultChecked = true;
} else {
e.defaultChecked = false;
}
}
if (e.type == 'radio') {
var x = e.name;
if (e.checked == true) {
e.defaultChecked = true;
} else {
e.defaultChecked = false;
}
}
}
}[/language:2cbj9nop]

I am afraid the trick with JavaScript is not going to work. PD4ML does not support JavaScript. The source HTML should already have “CHECKED” attributes on their places.

#27835

Actually,
This code is working quite well. It is executed on the client browser prior to getting the copy of the HTML. I refactored the code and am reposting it :

function processFormData(oForm) {
var e, i = 0;
while (e = oForm.elements[i++]) {
if (e.type == ‘checkbox’ || e.type == ‘radio’) {
if (e.checked == true) {
e.defaultChecked = true;
} else {
e.defaultChecked = false;
}
}
if (e.type == ‘select’) { // Still needs to be done
}
}
}
