Re: Print Servlet

Not really. Not with a servlet. A servlet is a server based thing and it's not intended to provide GUI-interactive stuff. If you want to have access to the print dialog, you will have to install the printer drivers locally, run FOP locally and transfer the generated print stream to the remote site

Hi Denis,   Thanks for your reply. The problem is that I need to replace certain place holders in my .fo file with corresponding tags in the xml file. I dont need to dump the whole xml file in the fo file. For eg: To:   is in the fo file, and the client name is in the xml file as a tag.
