Just a thought but what you seem to want is the XML file processed by XSL
(which can be on disk).
Have you checked the docs/examples for Xalan, the XSLT processor oncluded
with FOP?
Because that is what you've been asking for: how dow I process my XML file
using my XSLT
stylesheet.
Sorry, no Java programmer so I can't give any techie tips but I'd go and
have a look at the Xalan
docs and examples if I were you..
Good luck,
Michiel

$ Sorry, but this does not work for two reasons.
$
$ 1. The XML does NOT exist on disk! It is in memory only, and
$ writing it to
$ disk is NOT an option.
$
$ 2. This is a high traffic web application. Starting a new
$ JVM to process
$ FOP is too costly.
$
$ There must be a way for this FOP thing to read raw (data only) XML (in
$ memory) apply an XSL style sheet to add the FO tags, then
$ format the PDF and
$ return it to a browser. I can't believe I am the first
$ person in the word
$ to need to do this.
$
$ If I seem upset, I'm sorry. But I have been fighting with
$ FOP since last
$ week to get it to do this. FOP works great for taking FO files and
$ converting them to PDF files, but that's not what I have to
$ do. I have a
$ deadline to meet and I have wasted a week trying to get FOP to work.

$ Hi Jim,
$ I have exactly the same problem, and I've just found a non
$ elegant, working solution:
$
$ I generate my XML file, and then call the command line Fop
$ from within my
$ servlet:
$
$ Runtime.getRuntime().exec(new String[]{"java.exe", "-cp",
$ "c:\\fop\\Fop-0.18.1-DEV\\fop.jar;c:\\fop\\Fop-0.18.1-DEV\\lib
$ \\w3c.jar;c:\\
$ fop\\Fop-0.18.1-DEV\\lib\\xalan-2.0.0.jar;c:\\fop\\Fop-0.18.1-
$ DEV\\lib\\xerc
$ es-1.2.3.jar;c:\\fop\\Fop-0.18.1-DEV\\lib\\jimi-1.0.jar",
$ "org.apache.fop.apps.Fop", "-xml" , "c:\\prueba.xml", "-xsl" ,
$ "c:\\prueba.xsl", "-pdf" , "c:\\prueba.pdf"});
$
$ As I said, it is NOT elegant, but after sweating for days
$ with problems of
$ all type doing the elegant thing, I get my beautiful PDF on disk.
$
$ Of course you should adapt the names of trhe directories and
$ the xml and
$ xsl files.
$
$ Cheers,
$ Gustavo
$
$ PS: if someone has an elegant solution I would be happy to use it too.
