I'm using Apache FOP in a Java application to generate invoices, I want a footer displayed only on the final page of the invoice. Sometimes the invoices will span across multiple pages other times they will fill just a single page. After googeling extensively I have come up with the following:
<fo:layout-master-set>
<fo:simple-page-master master-name="normal" >
<fo:region-body />
<fo:region-before />
</fo:simple-page-master>
<fo:simple-page-master master-name="last">
<fo:region-body />
<fo:region-before />
<fo:region-after region-name="footer" />
</fo:simple-page-master>
<fo:page-sequence-master master-name="document">
<!-- Single Page Layout -->
<fo:repeatable-page-master-alternatives maximum-repeats="1">
<fo:conditional-page-master-reference master-reference="last" page-position="first" />
</fo:repeatable-page-master-alternatives>
<!-- Multi Page Layout -->
<fo:repeatable-page-master-alternatives maximum-repeats="no-limit">
<fo:conditional-page-master-reference master-reference="normal" page-position="first" />
<fo:conditional-page-master-reference master-reference="last" page-position="last" />
<fo:conditional-page-master-reference master-reference="normal" page-position="rest" />
</fo:repeatable-page-master-alternatives>
</fo:page-sequence-master>
</fo:layout-master-set>
From my understanding of what I have read online because I have set maximum-repeats to 1 on the first subsequence it will be ignored for all documents with more than one page, therefore the next subsequence with maximum-repeats set to no-limit will be used. However with this setup I get the footers on the first page and the last page, but not on pages in-between. Is there something I am overlooking, to me it seems as though the maximum-repeats attribute is being ignored.
Any help would be appreciated,
Thanks
Ollie.
I'd like to add I get the exact same output when removing the maximum-repeats="1" attribute.
