Matthew- I've used FOP (with Sun's JRE, not Microsoft's -- see Oleg's note) with IIS 5 (and I would assume it would work with IIS 4) by basically writing an ActiveX DLL that shells out to a call to the fop.bat file, and monitors a log file of the output from the batch file to see when it's finished.
I later broke these steps out, because the render was taking quite a while
(lots of images, which were being pulled from a different server), and
basically wrapped everything with a bunch of VB "listener" apps, which
periodically checked a database of FOP requests.
Also, I believe someone came up with a .NET wrapper for FOP, which should
work under IIS, with the .NET framework installed. If this interests you,
you might want to hit the archive; I believe the string ".NET" was in the
subject line. If you want more information about my setup, I'd be happy to
provide it.
