Hi Jason,
Thanks a million for code example.
Unfortunately I cannot use Websphere Application Developer, because we have troubles with
Websphere 4. I have to use Visual Age 3.5. As a matter of fact I do use WSAD to check syntax of
my XMLs. I am about to import few .jars: xerces.jar, xalan.jar, fop.jar, logkit.jar. Is there anything else
I need to create and configure?

Thanks again. John Cherny.

This is how I do it Websphere 4.

Using Websphere Application developer I put the jar files
into the WEB-INF/lib directory in my war file. If using VAJ
just add some entries to the WS Testenvironment classpath to
where these are.

I then used the code examples in the docs.

here is a little code snippet
( it's contextual to my program and I use the oracle xml/xslt
 engines as well. )

import org.apache.fop.apps.Driver;
import org.apache.fop.apps.Version;
import org.apache.fop.apps.XSLTInputHandler;

import org.apache.log.*;


if ( sUseFOP.equals("Y") ) {
  XMLDocumentFragment foDocFrag =
  processor.processXSL(xsl, resultXML);
  XMLDocument foDoc = new XMLDocument();
  foDoc.appendChild( foDocFrag);
  renderXML((Document) foDoc, response, outW);
} else {
  processor.processXSL(xsl, resultXML, outW);
}


HTH, Jason

You are asking for something big. Moreover, i can't
quite figure out what your actual requirements are.

The easiest way seems to be to contact your friendly
IBM support.
Other than that it would be useful to know:
1. How much experience do you have in running WebSphere
 and deploying code for WebSphere?
2. How much experience do you have in Java programming
 in general and in servlet/JSP stuff in particular?
3. How extensive have you already dealt with XML stuff?
4. How much experience do you have in developing
 XSLT/XSLFO?
5. How much experience do you have in running FOP?
6. What do you mean by "batch job"? Conventionally
 this is not used in assiciation with a web application
 server.
