Insert image in PDF file using xsl-fo with apache fop 1.1

I am using Apache Camel + Apache FOP to convert an XML to PDF with using XSL, the project is build with Maven + Java 8

When I try to insert a logo image in the footer of my PDF but I get this error:

"src" attribute is not allowed on the fo:external-graphic element!

                            <fo:table-cell>
                                <xsl:attribute name="text-align">left</xsl:attribute>
                                    <fo:block>
                                        <fo:external-graphic  src="url(file:///home/someDir/resources/Logo.jpg)" />
                                    </fo:block>
                            </fo:table-cell>
                        </fo:table-row>
                    </fo:table-body>
                </fo:table>
            </fo:flow>
        </fo:page-sequence>
    </fo:root>

Or ... simply in your original example:

<fo:external-graphic src="url('file:///home/someDir/resources/Logo.jpg')" />

The function url() takes a string. You are not passing it a string as you have not enclosed it in quotes. This is (in reality) all you accomplished by using <xsl:attribute> in your solution.

I've found the solution that works

<fo:block>
    <fo:inline>
        <fo:external-graphic>
            <xsl:attribute name="content-width">scale-to-fit</xsl:attribute>
            <xsl:attribute name="content-height">200%</xsl:attribute>
            <xsl:attribute name="width">200%</xsl:attribute>
            <xsl:attribute name="scaling">uniform</xsl:attribute>
            <xsl:attribute name="src">url('file:///home/someDir/resources/Logo.jpg')</xsl:attribute>
        </fo:external-graphic>
    </fo:inline>
</fo:block>
