How are u initiating FOP ? Is it thru an independent application ?
If it is then I guess u will have to get a hold of the system's runtime
environment using something like below in u're Java application (assuming
that u r using Java :-))
String[] cmds = new String[2];
cmds[0] = "iexplore"; // See that the system path is set so as to find
the
.exe , else set the string as "C:/Program Files/Internet Explorer/iexplore"
or wherever u're browser executable is.
cmds[2] = "xml.apache.org";
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(cmds);
But if u r anyway using a web based application then, all u need to do is
pass on the url of the PDF to the browser as the response.
Hope this helps.
Anil.
