Bug#284634: fop: Compile with encryption support

[Stuart Ballard]

Package: fop
Version: 1:0.20.5-4
Severity: wishlist


Would you consider building Fop with the encryption options available? I
believe that this involves making sure that a crypto implementation is
available at compile time. My understanding is that Free runtimes
provide this via GNU Crypto, although I have no idea whether that's
sufficient for Fop to work. I'm using a non-free JDK at the moment
myself (work stuff) but I understand you wouldn't want to increase the
non-free dependencies.

The specific code I'm using looks like this (note in particular the
lines marked "HERE" - it works without these lines):

    Driver driver = new Driver();
    ConsoleLogger logger = new ConsoleLogger(ConsoleLogger.LEVEL_WARN);
    MessageHandler.setScreenLogger(logger);
    driver.setLogger(logger);
    driver.setRenderer(Driver.RENDER_PDF);
    HashMap rendererOptions = new HashMap();
    rendererOptions.put("allowEditContent", "FALSE");      // HERE
    rendererOptions.put("allowEditAnnotations", "FALSE");  // AND HERE
    driver.getRenderer().setOptions(rendererOptions);
    driver.setOutputStream(out);
    driver.setInputSource(new InputSource(in));
    driver.run();

When I run this code I get an IllegalStateException: "PDF encryption not
available.". The documentation suggests that this is due to a failure to
find encryption support when fop was *compiled*, rather than a lack of
the necessary libraries on my machine at runtime which would (according
to the docs) give an error about being unable to find a provider for
RC4.
