Hi all,
I've created a camel-fop component that uses Apache FOP project to
render Camel messages into different outputs like PDF, PostScript,
PCL, AFP, RTF, PNG etc [1].
The component has only a producer, which expects in the message body
xml in XSL-FO format that can be generated from XML data and XSLT
template, or using freemarker or velocity templates. Then transforms
it to the output format specified in the endpoint URL or message
header.
Also it is possible to set metadata per document (like producer,
author, creation data, resolution) or encrypt the documents with
password.
Additionally it has options to override the default fop config file by
specifying a new userConfig location [2] in the endpoint URL.
Here is an example of creating PDFs from xml data and xslt template:
.from("file:source/data/xml")
.to("xslt:xslt/template.xsl")
.to("fop:application/pdf")
.to("file:target/data");
I think this would enhance the reporting capabilities of Came a lot. WDYT?
The patch is attached to the existing issue
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CAMEL-3551
