As far as I know there is no finished code yet. You'd have to write a plugin that calls fop somehow. Writing a simple plugin is easy, it should not take longer than an hour. There is, however, a hidden gotcha: If you've followed the mailing list, it's the same problem as with DBI queries: blocking. fop probably runs for a while, so you can end up blocking the whole AxKit2 server during that time. So while a simple plugin would be enough for development purposes, when you go live you have to enhance that plugin to support asynchronous operation. That's not too hard, we're still talking about no more than 100 lines of code, but it's something to keep in mind. -- CU Joerg --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
