RE: how starting FOP without XML-File

[Marc Jenzer]

Thanks for the answer!

 

But with your solution, I can't pass the fop xsl file. This file is on the filesystem. Could you help me?

 

Thanks

This code will read the XML from a String object and write the PDF output
back to the browser.:

      try
      {
         String fopstring = .... your function to generate the XML
         InputSource foSource = InputSource(new StringReader(fopstring));
         ByteArrayOutputStream out = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
         response.setContentType("application/pdf");
         Driver driver = new Driver(foSource, out);
         driver.setRenderer(Driver.RENDER_PDF);
         driver.run();
         byte[] content = out.toByteArray();
         response.setContentLength(content.length);
         response.getOutputStream().write(content);
         response.getOutputStream().flush();
         response.flushBuffer();
      }

  Subject: how starting FOP without XML-File


  Hallo

  I generate my PDF-File in a servlet:

          File xmlFile    = new File("c:/temp/test.xml");
          File xslFile    = new File("c:/temp/test.xsl");
          InputHandler inputHandler = new XSLTInputHandler(xmlFile,
xslFile);

          org.xml.sax.XMLReader parser = inputHandler.getParser();
          driver.buildFOTree(parser, inputHandler.getInputSource());
          driver.format();
          driver.setOutputStream(out);
          driver.render();

  In the above example the xml input source is  a file. But I would rather
pass the input source xml file (text.xml) in the memory. It's possible and
how can I do this?

  Thanks
