Hi there,
I'm developing a workflow where I have an SVG file, I modify some of
the elements (sort of like variable printing) and then I want my
users to be able to download the result as SVG, or as PDF. I'm
thinking of using batik for the PDF "rasterizing", it does a really
good job in my tests and it runs well on my debian box (nice job!)
The thing is, my web app is in Rails, and I'm not too sure if doing a
system() call out to run batik is going to be very efficient. I seem
to recall that running java -jar has a lot of overhead, and then
maybe there's memory issues, or other things? I know that batik takes
several seconds on my (old) server to render my test SVG to PDF, and
I need sub-second times.
What's the best/easiest way to do this? Should I set up a java-based
server and do some kind of RPC on it (like REST calls on localhost),
or can I run batik as a daemon or something?

PS I don't have any experience running any java servers (yet)
