I tried the demo for this product.

We use XSLTC. I learned Java XML use and JAXP from an O'Reilly book entitled "Java and XSLT" by Eric Burke. It includes an example of a stylesheet cache that I found quite useful.

Re: Using PHP or Perl to dynamically create PDFs
Hi, You can use PHP or PERL as a language to generate pdf. Download the sablotron XML toolkit through which you can convert XML+XSL in to FO (http://www.gingerall.com/charlie/ga/xml/p_sab.xml) . From PHP peer project doenload package XML_fo2pdf (http://pear.php.net/package-info.php?pacid=16) with the help of this package you can cover FO to PDF easily. i hope this would help.

Re: Class Transformer not found
"Class Transformer not found" simply means that JAXP is not in your classpath during compilation. You need to make sure that xml-apis.jar (which contains JAXP) is also in your classpath.

Class Transformer not found
Hi, Hi hope I am sending this to the correct user mailing list. I am trying to write a simple application to read in an xml file and and xslt style sheet, then produce a PDF. Below is a snippet of the main code which does this: Driver driver = new Driver(); driver.setOutputStream(new FileOutputStream(outFileName)); Logger logger = new ConsoleLogger(ConsoleLogger.LEVEL_INFO); MessageHandler.setScreenLogger(logger); driver.setLogger(logger); driver.setRenderer(Driver.RENDER_PDF); Transformer transformer = TransformerFactory.newInstance() .newTransformer(new StreamSource(INPUT_DIR + INPUT_XSLT)); transformer.transform(new InputSource(INPUT_DIR + INPUT_XML), new SAXResult(driver.getContentHandler())); However, I am getting the following error: [javac] /home/server/test/RendingEngines/FOP/source/fop-0.20.4/build/src/RenderingEngineXslt.java:60: Class Transformer not found. [javac] Transformer transformer = TransformerFactory.newInstance() [javac] ^ [javac] /home/server/test/RendingEngines/FOP/source/fop-0.20.4/build/src/RenderingEngineXslt.java:61: Class StreamSource not found. [javac].newTransformer(new StreamSource(INPUT_DIR + INPUT_XSLT)); [javac]^ [javac] 2 errors, 1 warning I have the xalan_2.3.1.jar file in my class path.
