Re: FopServlet example!
Thank you both. I have now implemented a class that takes two strings (xml-source and xsl-source and the servlet-response) and the class deals with converting this. If anyone would like a copy of this please let me know. Thanks again. Ghulam From: J.Pietschmann [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: FopServlet example!

Re: FopServlet example!
Hi,
Ive attached the Java class, (and included it at the bottom incase
attachment fails to send).
There are two methods, and they both require the HttpServletResponse. It
provides options for either sending it the XML and XSL as files or strings.
Ensure that you have copied the following jar files into your
TOMCAT_HOME\lib directory:
* avalon-framework-cvs-20020315.jar
* batik.jar
* fop.jar
which are all found in the Apache FOP distribution.
Hope it help.
Ken

Write your own InputHandler to do what you need. Then do the usual driver.render() call: Driver driver = new Driver(); InputHandler inputHandler = new MyCustomInputHandler(..whatever your InputHandler needs..); driver.setOutputStream(..wherever you want the output to go..); driver.render(inputHandler.getParser(), inputHandler.getInputSource()); -- Mark C.

Re: FopServlet
Deb, Which version of tomcat are you using? Especially with Tomcat 3.x I've seen lots of classloader problems. Can you find out which jars are being used by tomcat (in its lib or maybe lib/ext directory)? Look out for jaxp.jar or perhaps a version of xerces at that level which would be pulling in xalan. What can happen is that the javax.xml.transform is found in tomcat's jaxp.jar and if it's set up to use Xalan, it will only look for it in tomcat's classpath, not in your own webapp classpath, which seems to have the right stuff in it. Also do have any XML type jars in your java or jre lib/ext directory? HTH, Karen Deb Schmutz wrote: I believe I have all the jar files that I need.
