Hello, I just recently started playing with this approach (calling FOP.bat from the web, shelled out). I noticed that things were taking a while to complete but it seems to me that It waits for one to finish before it completes the next. Is this the case? Do I need to modify the .bat file so that it can run multiple instances of the javac program at the same time? Am I just crazy?
I would embed this in a java applet or something but I haven't the slightest idea on how to get this up and running. Java is way to foreign for me. -Adam -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: February 10, 2003 7:55 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: FOP and IIS4/5 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. -Jeff "Matthew Lancashire" To: "Fop-User-Help \(E-mail\)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <[EMAIL PROTECTED] cc: es.uk.com> Subject: FOP and IIS4/5 02/10/2003 10:30 AM Please respond to fop-user Can Fop be used in Server Side Java on an IIS4/IIS5 server Matthew Lancashire IT Project Manager Intitial Electronic Security Ltd Tel: +44 1282 473554 Fax: +44 1254 267552 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
