I am using FOP to take a single page of XSL:FO content and convert to PDF. I have embedded FOP in a servlet. When I have one user requesting a page it takes about 6 or 7 seconds to get the page formatted as PDF. It seems like each additional simultaneous request pushes the response time by 6 or 7 seconds. So, if 10 users request pages at about the same time, the 10th user gets his page back in about a minute--and this is only one page.
Is this the performance I should expect? What the ideal way to handle the rendering process? Should I create a Rendering object that had a rendering method or should I simply have a class with one static method that renders? Any guidance on how to embed FOP and get better response time is appreciated. Mike Zahigian, Sr. Programmer/Systems Analyst Amgen Business Information Systems (805) 447-2819 mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
