All,
I am currently working on a project where we are dynamically creating PDF documents based on a user input. When a user selects a specific period of time, we pull out the matching records from the database, convert the dataset to XML and render a PDF report based on that dataset. Now, everything works fine when we are manipulating up to 200 records (we get the result in 1 or 2 minutes). However some reports manipulate 7000 or 8000 records and in these particular instances, the performance degrades fairly significantly (no report was rendered after 40 minutes).
Does any of you have any idea/input on how to improve performance using FOP in such cases and what type of performance we should expect for the above examples?
Thank you for your help.
David Le Strat.
