Rendering error with wrong template path

[bernd_speckmann]

Hi there,

I got a processing exception during a "Render" operation. I think the problem is shown in the following log entries on the server with Adobe Document Services installed (ADS). The application is running on another system (AS1):

com.adobe.ads.remote.EJB_PDFAgent: Embedding of file/stream: DatasheetView_InteractiveForm.xdp using ID: template0 Failed:
Unable to create a FileDataBuffer for: E:\usr\sap\AS1\J00\j2ee\cluster\apps\company.de\sheetwd\servlet_jsp\webdynpro\resources\company.de\sheetwd\root\WEB-INF\webdynpro\Components\de.company.sheet.wd.datasheet.Datasheet\DatasheetView_InteractiveForm.xdp
... Continuing with Embedding files ...

The path "E:\usr\sap\AS1\J00..." does not exists on the Server with Adobe document services installed. Its SID is "ADS".

Any ideas

Thanks ahead

The problem was, that I was passing xdp template source as url .

Instead I should send it as a stream using the appropriate pdfdocument api.

Dear Bernd,

I faced the same problem. Could you tell me how to send it as a stream ?

Thank you

Hello,

I think at the moment you are passing the xdp template source as url using the WDURLGenerator.

Instead you should send it as a stream using the appropriate pdfdocument api like this:

String templateUrl = null;
ByteArrayOutputStream templateStream = null;
...
templateUrl = WDURLGenerator.getPublicResourcePath(otherPart, "My_InteractiveForm.xdp");
InputStream template = new FileInputStream(templateUrl);
ByteArrayOutputStream buffer = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
              int nRead; 
              byte[] data = new byte[16384];  
              while ((nRead = template.read(data, 0, data.length)) != -1) {
                        buffer.write(data, 0, nRead);
              }  
              buffer.flush();  
              templateStream = buffer; 
.....
IWDPDFDocumentHandler pdfDocumentHandler = WDPDFDocumentFactory.getDocumentHandler();
IWDPDFDocumentCreationContext pdfDocumentCreationContext = pdfDocumentHandler.getDocumentCreationContext();
.....
pdfDocumentCreationContext.setTemplate(templateStream);

Hope this helps...
