pdf generation with images (from html source)

[petitefl3ur.petitefl3ur.gmail.com]

Hello,

I have a problem in a pre-production environment with my application.
I am generating on the fly pdf from contents stored in the database in html.

<p:html>
   <font size="3" face="Arial" style="text-align:justify">
      <h:outputText escape="false" value="#{document.content}" style="text-align:justify"/>
   </font>
</p:html>

The thing is that there are images in these contents. Oh Just the url of the images, images are stored on the server.

So when i was working in dev on localhost the pdf were corretly generated with images.

<img scr="http://localhost:8080/media/myimage.jpg />

But now in pre-production images are not insert in the document. And there are no errors in the logs.

<img scr="http://media.mysubdomain.com/myimage.jpg />

I try to replace the url by a full path on the server, and by htpp://localhost/media with a proxy on apache but there are still no displaying of any images...

Is there something to do to make it work that i miss?

Bye
Raphaël

Ok i have change the way i generate my pdf.

I split my text between html and images.
I load images from a absolute path in a BufferedImage

And generate my pdf like this :

<ui:repeat value="#{documentPdf.pagesPdf}" var="_page" >
     <ui:repeat value="#{_page.elements}" var="_element">
          <p:html>
               <font size="3" face="Arial">
                    <h:outputText escape="false" value="#{_element.htmlContent}"/>
               </font>
          </p:html>
          <s:fragment rendered="#{_element.image}">
               <p:table columns="1" widthPercentage="100"  borderWidth="0">
                    <p:cell borderWidth="0">
                         <p:image value="#{_element.imageContent}"/>
                    </p:cell>
               </p:table>
          </s:fragment>
     </ui:repeat>
     <p:newPage/>
</ui:repeat>

Thank you for the guide. I only find a guide about creating PDF from stream. Your code is of great help.
