XML to PDF
Another way of converting your XMl using XSL to PDF is using FO ( Formatting
Objects ). Check FOP parser
from APACHE , it has servlets and command line programs that allow you to style
and convert a xml into
PDF . Also Cocoon from Apache does something similar.
FOP is the world's first print formatter driven by XSL formatting objects. It is
a Java application that reads a
formatting object tree and then turns it into a PDF document. The formatting
object tree, can be in the form of an
XML document (output by an XSLT engine like XT or Xalan) or can be passed in
memory as a DOM Document
or (in the case of XT) SAX events.

Subject: FW: Runtime.exec() within servlet
Hi Craig,
Where can I find and buy the package 'JClass Pagelayout' as mentioned in
your earlier post? I need to generate pdf reports from XML using XSL.
How good is this package?
Thanks in advance.
Monika

Subject: Runtime.exec() within servlet
Hello,
I am trying to start another JVM within a servlet. The code is running on a
linux box with the Apache JServ Engine.
Inside my servlet, I have this try block:
------------------------------
String command = "/usr/local/apache/servlets/startPopulate.sh";
try {
Runtime runtime = Runtime.getRuntime();
runtime.exec(command);
}
catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace(System.out);
out.println("An error occured while trying to execute the process in " +
"populateAllCourses()");
}
-------------------------------
startPopulate.sh is a shell script that contains the following:
---------------------------------
#!/bin/bash
cd /usr/local/apache/servlets
export CLASSPATH=.:$CLASSPATH
java PopulateCourses [EMAIL PROTECTED] > /tmp/dump.txt
----------------------------------
This shell script runs fine if I start it from the command line, but only
creates an empty "/tmp/dump.txt" file when started from the servlet.
"PopulateCourses" is a class that has rwx permission for everyone. I need
to run the PopulateCourses class within its own process, because it takes
about an hour to complete. Once the process is started, the servlet tells
the user that they will be e-mailed after PopulateCourses is complete.
Anyone see what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks,
Craig Sullivan

Subject: Re: How to produce Reports
Hi,
I too was involved with this problem. You can write a
servlet to create reports. You can convert the report
in html form or pdf.
There is this package called as JClass Pagelayout
available which will allow you to create reports. This
package uses XML/XSL to create pdfs. If you do not
want to buy this package you can write classes to
create the pdfs (I have used only the JClass package).
If u want to write ur own classes you would have to
use XSLFO.
I hope this answers ur query.
