Why?

Validation

If the input XML is not well-formed, that will be reported.

There is no DTD for XSL-FO, so no formal validation is possible at the parser level.

The SAX handler will report an error for unrecognized namespaces.

The SAX handler will report an error for unrecognized namespaces.

Namespaces -

The element mapping is a hashmap of all the elements in a particular namespace. -This makes it easy to create a different object for each element. -Element mappings are static to save on memory.

-

To add an extension a developer can put in the classpath a jar that contains the file /META-INF/services/org.apache.fop.fo.ElementMapping. -This must contain a line with the fully qualified name of a class that implements the org.apache.fop.fo.ElementMapping interface. -This will then be loaded automatically at the start. -Internal mappings are: FO, SVG and Extension (pdf bookmarks).

+

To allow for extensions to the XSL-FO language, FOP provides a mechanism for handling foreign namespaces.

See User Extensions for a discussion of standard extensions shipped with FOP, and their related namespaces.

See Developer Extensions for a discussion of the mechanisms in place to allow developers to add their own extensions, including how to tell FOP about the foreign namespace.

  1. Write code that implements your extension functionality. The easiest place to start is by looking at the code in org.apache.fop.extension, and by looking at the examples in the contrib directory.
