Hi Jean-Claude,
the applications flow of work is:
1) Client requests print of chapter
2) A ProcessManager on the server picks up that request, looks up what process should
handle that request and starts it with the necessary environment.
3) The process connects to the database, extracs all information needed for printing
this chapter to XML and calls FOP for rendering the chapter to PDF.
4) After finishing this work the ProcessManager informs the client wether his request
was handled successful and where he can find the PDF.
If I use java-extensions I have a problem of authentication. While the XML is
generated into a public directory I cannot insert any database connect information. So
wherefrom gets the java-extension the database connect information (server, port,
service, database name, user, password)?
Regards,

Erik
try java-extensions. This help you to write external Java classes directly callable
from your XSL transformation rules.
a simple exmaple :
<xsl:stylesheet
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"; version="1.0"
xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format";
xmlns:e="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Spec/ElementSyntax";
xmlns:xjava="xalan:://mycompany.util.PrintInfo"
xmlns:java="http://www.apache.org/xslt/java";
exclude-result-prefixes="java">
....
<xsl:template match ="TITLE">
<xsl:variable name="loc"><fo:page-number-citation
ref-id="@id"/></xsl:variable>
<xsl:variable name="title" select="text()"/>
<xsl:value-of select="ejava:putValue($loc, $title)"/>
<fo:block font-size="11pt"
...
Just select the right place to put such rules in order to detect the start and the end
of your chapters. I suppose you know JDBC to connect java code to your database.
Good luck.
