I've been following the progress of FOP since .15 and I'd like to say that I really appreciate all the work everyone puts in. My company produces student administration software for k-12 schools and open-source projects are the ideal way to put great technology in the hands of under-funded school districts.
We currently use FOP in a servlet environment for doing pdf reporting (1 to 20 pages). The memory consumption is a bit high, but we have had great sucess and stability with our current usage. Our IDEAL dream is to be able to batch print report cards and parent letters using this technology. This would involve taking the same simple fo document and applying it 500-3000 times, depending on the number of students. We don't use anything fancy like page counting, or references to other parts of the document. As far as I can see, it should be possible to format, render and stream out each page as it's completed. (Although this probably breaks other aspects of the FO spec.) If I am able to produce documents like this in the near future, it will lock in Fop as a core part of our technology architecture. Is there any way to optimize my fo documents to make this possible? I remember seeing some benchmarks reaching thousands of pages by Mark Lillywhite, but unfortunately my documents were unable to take advantage of those enhancements. Is anyone else currently working on something like this?
