APACHE FOP LOGGER NOT SET

In this day I have one issue and I was not able to resolve.
Basically I found many post that speak of something similar. But don´t found one particular solution.
I have one installation of APEX 3.1 and installed APache FOP 10.1.3.2.0, but this installations are on E-business suite 11.5.10.2
First installed EBS 11.5.10.2 , then migrated DAtabase a 10.2.0.3, then installed APEX 3.1 and now installed OC4J Containers 10.1.3.2.0 and configured Apache FOP, my SO is Linux 4, I have jdk 1.4.2.
I'm trying to print some reports as PDF and I have the following problem:
I followed the step "5.Installing and Configuring Apache FOP" of http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/html/configure_printing.html
When I try to print my report I get this message on OC4J console:
08/07/24 20:39:52 [ERROR] Logger not set

I get this message on Log Apache

anybody help me ?

When I pressing the button does export writes that "it is impossible to display the page".Export does not occur.
However, I added apex_fop.jsp following:
java.io.FileOutputStream os = new java.io.FileOutputStream ("/tmp/out.test");
driver.setOutputStream(os);
driver.run();
os.close();
Once I click on the button in the apex export all the information stored in a file out.test.Open the file are all displayed correctly. However, the apex does not return the file, and writes "it is impossible to display the page"

Cannot print reports as PDF: Logger not set error

Hi all,

My question is about the Logger error. What is exactly a Logger?
May I define it in j2ee-logging.xml file of OC4J?
I'm working with:
- APEX 3.0.1
- Java SDK 1.4.2
- Oracle Containers for J2EE (10.1.3.2)
Thanks!
Roger

Hi again,
I still didn't found the solution to my problem. In the "ascontrol.log" file of OC4J there is this warning:
2008-05-05 11:36:28,934 [OC4J Launcher] WARN jmx.SecureWalletManager _setPermission.161 - WARNING: Could not set file permissions administrators:F for wallet at E:\oc4j\j2ee\home\persistence\ascontrol\ascontrol\securestore\ewallet.p12
Is it significant?
Thanks

PDF printing with oc4j apache fop not working

I am configuring PDF printing in Apex 3.1.1. I have set up a shared component report query with a simple query. I have implemented the oc4j standalone and implemented the fop.war as specified in the "pdf printing in Apex" documentation. When I use the test button to verify the output of the report, I am redirected to a 404-page not found and the oc4j instance logs the following:
08/09/09 12:02:36 [ERROR] Logger not set
08/09/09 12:02:36 [INFO] Using oracle.xml.parser.v2.SAXParser as SAX2 Parser

Any ideas why this is happening?
Database is oracle 9.2.0.7
OC4J standalone 10.1.3

Hello,
Just did some more search on this, and apparently it's a more common problem:

Apache FOP not displaying Cyrillic properly

Hi,
I am using apache FOP to generate pdfs' in Russian. I have embedded the fonts into the application but the output is being displayed as html numerical codes.
The html numerical codes are stored in the database but I am unable to render them properly. I know the fonts are embedded correctly because when I apply the fonts to English text, Russian characters are displayed in the pdf correctly.
e.g the Russian characters are displayed like this:
прод... etc
Why are my codes not displaying properly ? I'm a bit lost at this point.
thanks in advance

Hi,
thanks for the reply.
To clarify things a bit. My web page is submitting Russian text which is being stored in an Oracle database. This text is being stored in the &#xxxx; format. This formatting is displayed properly in a web browser but I am using Apache FOP to produce a pdf and the Russian text is not being displayed as the Russian characters but as the relative &#xxxx; codes. So these codes are not being translated back into their Russian Cyrillic symbols.
I have configured FOP and embedded the Cyrillic TTF but these codes are still not displayed. I can apply the Cyrillic font style to English text and Russian characters are displayed so it seems that that cyrillic TTF is embedded properly.
I am not generating an serialized xml file but rather creating a javax.xml.transform.dom.DOMSource object and with my xsl file I create the pdf code snippet below:
thanks
Paul
          //Setup a buffer to obtain the content length
          ByteArrayOutputStream out = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
          // add fonts for Russian and Chinese certificates
          String fontConfig = path + "fonts/fontcfg.xml";
       FopFactory fopFactory = FopFactory.newInstance();
       fopFactory.setUserConfig(fontConfig);
       FOUserAgent foAgent = fopFactory.newFOUserAgent();
          //Setup FOP
          Fop fop = fopFactory.newFop(MimeConstants.MIME_PDF,foAgent , out);
          //Setup Transformer
          Source xsltSrc = new StreamSource(new File(xslFile));
          TransformerFactory tFactory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
          Transformer transformer = tFactory.newTransformer(xsltSrc);
          //Make sure the XSL transformation's result is piped through to FOP
          Result res = new SAXResult(fop.getDefaultHandler());
          //Setup input
          Source domSrc = new DOMSource(xmlDom);
       //Start the transformation and rendering process
          transformer.transform(domSrc, res);
          //Prepare response
          response.setContentType("application/pdf");
          response.setContentLength(out.size());
          //Send content to Browser
          response.getOutputStream().write(out.toByteArray());
          response.getOutputStream().flush();

[Apache 2] Critical error mod_rewrite: Could not set permissions on rewrite

Hi,
Well I had a look around to this problem and it seems it is specific to mac os system on intel machines, so I send my post here.
I had installed the apache 2 server from www.serverlogistics.com and it seems to start. However it is impossible to log into my local website with an error in my web browser "can't log to "localhost" server".
By reading the logs I got in /Library/Apache2/logs/error_log (where there is also a httpd.pid file): [crit] (14)Bad address: mod_rewrite: Could not set permissions on rewriteloglock; check User and Group directives Configuration Failed
So, I commented the line "LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so" in /Library/Apache2/conf/httpd.conf with no efffect at all.
Then I don't know what to do.... any idea please ?
NB : I did not configure or set any htaccess file in any directory.

Hi,
Well, I had tried several ways among others MAMP. With, MAMP, I experienced some problems running MySQL and or Apache server.
If you'd like help, you need to describe the specific problems you're having. You're not giving people here much to go on in order to be able to help. Without knowing what you've already tried, and what the results were, it's impossible to say if you've just made a simple mistake or if you've truly hit upon something that won't work. The Apache logs are especially helpful, with lots of detailed information to help in troubleshooting.
To say the true, I bought this Macbook because the system kernel is 100% compatible with Linux, and I was full of naives hopes, thinking that I will install/compile easily softwares that are usual under Linux world.....
I certainly haven't had much problem compiling and installing software that's distributed as source code, though I haven't tried to compile Apache. While it's true that much of the software will compile, it's also true that you might have to make some small changes here and there to the source code to get it to work correctly. But you might also have to do the same thing to get them to compile on different Linux distributions. So OS X isn't that different in that respect.
If you want to get Apache 2 running with MAMP, post back with specific information on what problems you had and I'll try to help. I've been hacking at Apache installations for many years now, so if I know the problems you're having, there's a good chance I've been through them, too.

Error : The value is not set for parameter number"

Hello All,
I am getting an error message when I tried modifying a program by adding a new ID column to a database table.
All DML is working except the Delete. So to look at the delete method, I am setting the parameter correctly as can be seen in the code belwo.
Can someone please take a quick look and let me know where I need to tweak the code further.
Thanks

First thing to do is to edit the post and use some tags to format the code as it is unreadable and too much!
Read the FAQ (https://forums.oracle.com/forums/help.jspa) to find out how to do this.
Next we need to know the jdev version you are using!
As the code is generated I would first try to generate it again after the db change.

Error while configuring apache FOP for printing

Dear All,
I have a requirement to print a report using custom layout.
I have installed apex 4.2 by configuring embedded PL/SQL gateway. I used the link:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E37097_01/doc/install.42/e35123/overview.htm#CJABBFIH
And for printing purpose I am installing apache FOP. I have installed oc4j in standalone mode. I followed the link:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/apex/application-express/configure-printing-093060.html
But after setting oc4jadmin password, I am getting following error
13/01/15 12:52:07 WARNING: EJBContainer.postInit Error generating wrappers for f
ile:/E:/app/OracleDb/j2ee/home/applications/admin_ejb.jarjava.lang.Instantiation

I have JAVA_HOME and ORACLE_HOME system environment variables set up as mentioned in the guide.
I am not well versed with java.
Can anyone please throw light on this issue and help me resolve this problem. This is an urgent requirement.
Thanks and regards,
Deepika.

Seems like the Java EE container is looking for the Java compiler. Try installing the Java Development Kit (JDK) and respecify your JAVA_HOME accordingly. HTH.

LOGO in PDF file (Apache FOP)

Hi all...I'm using the Apache FOP PDF printing option with the jsp packaged in the AppEx 3.0.1 install. I would like to put a logo in the header of the generated PDF file. I made a compy of the default generic columns layout and added this to the header section in Page Template:
<fo:block>
Test Header Changes
<fo:external-graphic src="file:///tmp/FastenalLogo.png"/>
</fo:block>
The following error is then generated in the logs:

Is it not possible to import an external image file into a PDF rendered by the Apache FOP? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Hi Carl --
I changed the image source to this:
<xsl:variable name="_SECTION_NAME" select="string('master0')"/>
<fo:static-content flow-name="region-header">
<fo:block>

<fo:external-graphic src="http://epsilon.fastenal.com:7784/i/FastenalLogo.jpg" />

</fo:block>
</fo:static-content>
I can access the image through my web browser using the URL, but my log is throwing these errors:

Could the fo block be in the wrong place in the document? I'm not very familiar with XSL-FO and may have just placed it wrong.
One other thing I just noticed. The webserver is actually using SSL, which on windows systems results in a pop-up about security. If I change the URL to https using the SSL port, I receive a message about security certificates.

Apache FOP

I am trying to install Apache FOP. I have downloaded from the Oracle website. I have then saved the file in c:\program files\java\oc4j.
When I change directory I can locate the file but can not start oc4j? All of the related files mentioned in the installation notes are included in the ocj4 file.

Hi Dimitri,
Thanks for the reply.
The environment variables have been set.
ORACLE_HOME c:\program files\oracle\oc4j
JAVA_HOME c:\program files\java\j2re1.4.2_8
Move to c:\
Path: c:\program files\oracle\oc4j\j2ee\home
Command: oc4j -start
Error: 'oc4j' is not recognised as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
OR I also tried
Command: java -jar oc4j.jar
The first time I did this I was asked to create a password but then the initialization failed. If I try to execute this command again I get a Missing Class and Fatal Error????
No idea.
If you have any ideas on how to fix this it would be great appreciated.
Many thanks
Ros

Apache FOP getClassLoader problem

I have loaded Apache FOP 1.1 into an 11g database, and a driver class to retrieve XML/XSLT and save PDF as CLOBs. When I try to execute this in the DB, I get
ORA-29532: Java call terminated by uncaught Java exception: javax.xml.transform.TransformerException: java.security.AccessControlException: the Permission (java.lang.RuntimePermission getClassLoader) has not been granted to ProtectionDomain (null <no signer certificates>)

It looks like the SecurityManager is only looking at PUBLIC permissions, even though the FOP classes were loaded into a schema with 'SYS:java.lang.RuntimePermission', 'getClassLoader', ''.
Any ideas on how to get around this?
Thanks!

Dear Brian,
It looks to me like org.apache.fop.apps.Driver might be doing a
Class.forName() for the Loggable class. If Class.forName() does not pass a
specific classloader, the system classpath loader is used; which is why it
works when you put the classes on the system classpath.

HI,
I am deploying a big EAR in WL 6.1 on solaris and I am bundling FOP1.20.3

It DOES work when I put the necessary jars on the server startup classpath,
however it would obviously be
better to be able to bundle the 3rd party jars within my EAR ....... Iknow this
seems like it would be a general
weblogic classloader question - but I have had no problems with any other3rd

this one.
Has anyone else had these kinds of problems ?

Apache FOP configuration with Oracle XE

Hi,
I have installed Oracle XE on my laptop and upgraded Apex to 3.2. I am now trying to install Apache FOP for PDF printing. I am following Section 5 of the following document:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/html/configure_printing.html
Since it is a standalone installation, I followed the directions given here :
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B32110_01/web.1013/b28950/install.htm#BABIBGCA
I installed JDK version 6 and also downloaded the OC4J zip file and did as specified.
Now here is my problem: The next step is this :
Step 1: Installing the WAR file
Place the fop.war file (located in apex_install_directory/utlities/fop) in an accessible location on your local machine. You then follow the directions below or can view the process by running this viewlet.
+1. Navigate to your OC4J Oracle Enterprise Manager Console eg: http://localhost:8888/em/+
+2. Select the Applications Tab+
+3. Select Deploy Button+
+4. On the "Deploy: Select Archive" page use the option "Archive is present on local host. Upload the archive to the server where Application Server Control is running." Use the file browse to select the fop.war file and click "Next" button+
+5. On the "Deploy: Application Attributes" page set the "Application Name" option to "fop" and clear the "Context Root " option and click "Next" Button+
+6. On the Deploy: Deployment Settings click the "Deploy" button+
The problem is, since mine is an XE installation on my laptop, I do not have Oracle Enterprise Manager Console. In this case, how can I deploy the WAR file ?
Any ideas ?
Thanks,
Ashok

Hi Ashok,
I have the same problem. have installed 10g xe and upgrated to apex 3.2 on my laptop.
I dont have the EM to deploy the WAR file.
Anyway you could share how exactly you deployed the file and made pdf working?
much appreciated.

Comboboxes are not set on the 1st time a row is clicked in the dataTable

I have somewhat the following setup:
I have a DataTable that is filled with a listof objects, a actionListener is handeled when a row is clicked.
Under the Table there are two ComboBoxes (lets call them Category and Item) that get their values from lists of Objects. The values of the list that backs the Item combo depend on the selected value of the Category combo.
Lets assume the values look like this:
CategoryA
---ItemA1
---ItemA2
CategoryB
---ItemB1
---ItemB2
Together with some textboxes, they should represent the values of the clicked row in the Table.
Now the problem:
When the comboboxes have a different value than the row that is beïng selected the values of the comboboxes and textboxes are not set correctly until the 3rd time the row is clicked.
It also doesn't go into the onClickMehod in the backing bean before the 3rd click. This is checked by a logger.
an example:
before clicking, the category combo is set to "CategoryB", the Item combo is set to "ItemB1" and the textboxes are empty. The row that is going to be clicked has as its category "CategoryA" and as its Item "ItemA1"
1st click:
the form still shows the values like they were before clicking, the log doesn't show that the method is triggered
2nd click:
the Item combo is set to "ItemA1", the category is still set to "CategoryB", the textBoxes are still empty. The log still doesn't show that the method is triggered
3rd click:
the Category combo is set to "CategoryA", the Item combo is set to "ItemA1", the textboxes also have their correct values.
the code is as followed:

}I've already tried to use the action attribute instead of the actionlistener attribute, also tried to add immediate="true" to all fields and columns.
Did try to add onclick="submit();" to the rows.
What can be done to fix it??
ps: the enviroment is JSF + Spring + Hibernate

The <h:messages/> tag is where the validation exception is shown, but no validation is used on the form, no other exeptions are sown.
the List<Categories> is filled at a setPageLoad method which is bound to the form by <h:form binding="#{backingBean.pageLoad}">.
The List<SelectedItem> of the categories box is filled in its getter and filled with the values of the List<Categories>
And both the List<SelectedItem> of the items box and the List<Item> are filled in the getter of the List<SelectedItem> of the items box
so instead of that i should rewrite it to something like this:
public BackingBean() {
    selectedCategories = new List<SelectedItem>();
    selectedItems = new List<SelectedItem>();
    categories = CategoryService.retrieveCategories(); //gets all categories
    items = ItemService.retrieveItemsByCategory(selectedCategory); //gets the items
    for (int count = 0; count < categories.size(); count++) {
        selectedCategories.add(new SelectItem(categories.get(count).getId(),categories.get(count).getDescription()));
    if (selectedCategory == 0){
        selectedCategory = categories.get(0).getId();
    for (int count = 0; count < items.size(); count++) {
        selectedItems.add(new SelectItem(items.get(count).getId(),items.get(count).getDescription()));
    if (selectedItem == 0){

PDF printing by Apache FOP : what are the prerequisites ?

Hello,
I'm actually looking for a way to print reports, and I've 2 questions :
1) If I'm not wrong there are three means : BI Publisher, Apache FOP and an other XSL-FO like Cocoon...
-> For budgetary reasons, we can't use BI Publisher.
-> Besides, my company owns the Oracle Standard Edition, so I'm not even sure we can use Apache FOP : in every documentation FOP is deployed in App Server or Enterprise Manager, and we don't have those. OC4J seems installed on our server but it may not work without Application Server...
-> So is Cocoon the solution ?
2) We're about installing Apex 4.0. We want to be able to print interactive reports, with aggregations and sums. Does it possible and are there differences between report engines ?
Thanks a lot !
Fanny

Hi Fanny,
I stand to be corrected, but my understanding regarding OC4J licensing is this.
OC4J can be downloaded and installed in standalone configuration from OTN under the OTN license, which is fairly restrictive and means that it cannot be used for production or commercial purposes. This applies whether it is installed on the database server or on a separate server. In order to license it you need to buy an OAS or Weblogic license. This is in contrast to Oracle's HTTP server, which can be installed standalone and is included in the database server license provided it is installed on the same server as the database. If the HTTP server is installed on a separate server to the database then it too requires an OAS or Weblogic license.
My guess for this anomally is that the HTTP server is based on Apache, an open source product and it was originally installed as part of the database up until version 9i. After that it was separated out as a companion product. Where as OC4J is based on a proprietary product called Onion, which Oracle acquired. Commercially going forward, Oracle is pushing Weblogic. If you want a free app server then you can opt for the free version of Glassfish, an Oracle product or Tomcat.
If you do need a supported environment you can also get Standard One versions of Weblogic and OAS which are considerably cheaper than the Enterprise versions and you can get a supported version of Glasfish for around the same cost.
You should also note that Oracle BI plus OAS or Weblogic is a complete development and deployment product for business intelligence reporting, whereas Apache FOP and an app server is purely a deployment environment. If you wish to do something more sophisticated than the standard PDF option available in Apex, which is pretty basic, you will need to acquire some sort of XSL-FO production tool. As alluded to previously, Java4less produce a minimally priced one, but there are others in the market place.

PDF PRINTING using Apache FOP and Oracle Containers for J2EE

Hi,
I am having major confusion about the pdf printing in Oracle XE and Apex 3.1.2.00.02
It clearly states that this is an available option on the Oracle website.
According to Apex there are two options for printing report regions.
Standard - which is free
Advanced - which uses BI and requires a licence
Standard requires me to have Apache FOP (which is provided by Oracle in the Apex release) and Oracle Containers for J2EE (OC4J)
Where my understanding of all this falls down is the part where I am downloading the Oracle Containers for J2EE and the license agreement states this cannot be used in a production system (only as a protptype). Can anyone clarify this? This is surely a required componenet and for the standard report printing which is supposed to be free.
My problem is that I need to have a database system on a laptop that will go off site for a number of weeks. We need report printing options.
Can anyone help with this. im desperate.
Kind regards

no not yet with Application Server.
I have tried to compare the settings to another installation with a separeted oc4j as described in the howto. But at the moment i found no mistakes.
If i call the url adresse like:
http://localhost:18101/fop/apex_fop.jsp
i get:
500 Internal Server Error
Servlet error: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: fop.apex__fop
I installed it another time with these settings:
Web Anwendung= .../fop.war (selected war file from apex install directory)
Anwendungsname= fop
URL zuordnen= /fop
I would like to know if its possible to use the fop.war out of apex install directory with the Application server? In the standalone version (as described in howto) it works. But if you install it there you don't need to define an URL.
Is the URL /fop correct or what do i have to insert there?
