Wim,
This sounds really interesting. When you run a com component you don't need a servlet for FOP or to integrate servlets into IIS? Very interesting!! How easy is it to write the component itself? And, if you can do this easily why is there a project for FOP C# at http://sourceforge.net/projects/fop-dotnet/ for a full implementation.

PS
I'm finding Java really complicated compared with .NET so I hope there is some open source integration for FOP on it soon! My you I don't really know what a com component is so I .NET turns my brains to liquid also!

Subject: Re: Using FOP on a ASP.NET server to convert FO to PDF From: "Wim Sandra" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> === I've integrated FOP in a ASP.NET server by implementing a COM component. The COM components export a very simple interface with a method that takes some XML data, a XSL-FO stylesheet and writes a PDF file (or writes the PDF data to some memory). The COM component calls the FOP java methods with JNI (Java Native Interface).
Ultimately, in your C# ASP.NET application, we more or less write:
FOPLib.Fop fop = new FOPLib.Fop();
fop.fop2File(xmlData,xsltData,outputFileName);
Response.Redirect(outputFileName);
or
FOPLib.Fop fop = new FOPLib.Fop();
uint numBytes = fop.fop2Memory(xmlData,xsltData);
byte [] bytes = new byte [numBytes];
renderer.read(bytes);
Response.Expires = 0; Response.Buffer = true; Response.ContentType = @"application/pdf"; Response.BinaryWrite(bytes); Response.End();
