PDF Plugin Upgrade to 0.4 error

[Marc Dworkin]

Hi,

I upgraded my PDF plugin to 0.4, which broke the included Simple PDF Demo.

Selecting the link for http://localhost:8080/MyApp/pdf/demo2?url=/pdf/demo2&filename=document.pdf

Returns an html page and the following logs

--------------------------
BaseUri is http://localhost:8080/MyApp
Fetching url http://localhost:8080/MyApp/pdf/demo2
2009-04-30 22:30:22,311 [7832332@qtp0-4] ERROR service.PdfService  - org.xhtmlrenderer.util.XRRuntimeException: Can't load the XML resource (using TRaX transformer). org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: The entity name must immediately follow the '&' in the entity reference.there was a problem with PDF generation java.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot get property 'length' on null object
--------------------------

Also, from the release notes.  Does "ability to use on secured applications" mean it now works with Jsecurity?

Thanks!

Marc

The demo stuff  is kinda sketchy in 1.1, because the views don't show up in the app after installing the plugin. and therefore I don't have good testing of the plugin as installed in a 1.1 app. I will look into this next week as soon as I get time.

it should work for jSecurity (or any other security?) if you use the pdfForm and do method="post" which also requires that you use either template="something" or controller="something" action="someAction". Tags which use a url still don't work with secured views.

I get this error on my application (grails 1.1.1)

BaseUri is http://localhost:8080/test
Fetching url http://localhost:8080/test/test.gsp
2009-06-18 15:49:40,449 [12237125@qtp0-7] ERROR service.PdfService  - org.xhtmlrenderer.util.XRRuntimeException: Can't load the XML resource (using TRaX transformer). java.io.IOException: Stream closed
there was a problem with PDF generation java.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot get property 'length' on null object
FEHLER:  'Stream closed'

What should I do? The only change I made on my app ist on views/myfile.gsp. I inserted:

<g:pdfLink url="/test.gsp" filename="test.pdf" icon="true"/>

What kind of stuff is in your test.gsp and what method were you trying to use for the PDF - the pdf link, pdf form etc, method = post or method = get? that sort of thing.

That info should give me some more ideas on how to help.

also, you could try the latest version of the plugin from GitHub. I just haven't had time to move that over to the Grails repos. I know that fixed a bug that I was having with image URL's.

I have nothing on test.gsp:

<%@ page contentType="text/html;charset=UTF-8" %>
<html>
  <head>
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
    <title>Sample title</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <h1>Sample line</h1>
    <p>TEST</p>
    <strong>Hallo</strong>
  </body>
</html>

And I use this Link to create a PDF:

<g:pdfLink method="POST" url="/test/PDF.gsp" filename="test.pdf">PDF</g:pdfLink>

to start:

<g:pdfLink method="POST" url="/test/PDF.gsp"
filename="test.pdf">PDF</g:pdfLink>

is not a valid usage of the g:pdfLink tag. as of the 0.4 release only method = "get" is available for the link tag

Hi,

I've just installed the pdf plugin 0.4, the Simple pdf Demo works fine (inserting the following code in a gsp):

<g:pdfForm url="/pdf/demo2" filename="sample.pdf" method="get">
        <input type="hidden" name="name" value="ciao"/>
        <g:submitButton name="printPdf" value="pdfdemo" />
</g:pdfForm>

and I was getting the "famous" error
[67094] service.PdfService org.xhtmlrenderer.util.XRRuntimeException: Can't load the XML resource (using TRaX transformer). org.xml.sax.SAXParseException

when I used a simple gsp of mine instead of the demo.gsp because it uses a layput gsp that was not well formed! The suggestion is to verify validation with an XML validator.

I wish to be usefull...
