That's what I'm trying to do by passing the PARAM in the COMMAND line. It may just be that I don't completely understand the process. I have a system which outputs an XML file, and if a setting exists, will print that file using XSL:FO. I have a 2nd page in the XSL:FO that is static (it's a government form).
Understood.
If the printer can handle DUPLEX (print on
front & back) then I output the 2nd page. If it does not, then they must purchase pre-printed paper with the government disclaimer stuff on the back.
You want to keep the information in a file or should it be done "on the fly"?
I'd like to have my .BAT/.sh script which runs FOP pass a parameter to FOP so it "knows" whether or not to print the 2nd page.
ok, on the fly. But your .bat is sending the files, which should be printed (front/rear // front). So why not keep a record whether it is front/rear or front. Then "normal" if bla =true then bothPages else frontPage.
I guess I could
set up the system to always output both pages, but then only "print" ODD pages, but I have no guarantee that I'll have that much control over the environment. I do, however have control over the .BAT/.sh script
So I would store the information in that script. Then you need two fop-Stylesheets. 1) with the rear page 2) without
Thanks for your help!

Sorry, but can't help.
I am using fop within cocoon.
XSP stands for Extensible Server pages.
But if you pass values to fop, can't you insert the params BEFORE passing it to fop?

No. (at least I don't know what xsp is). My clients have installed JRE 1.4 & FOP, and that is all. I'd rather not have to install other items (if possible, of course). I'm just wondering if it's possible to pass variable & param values directly to FOP through the command line.
If it makes any difference my clients intend to run the gamut of output options: -print, -pcl, -awt, -ps, pdf...
Thanks!

Did you use xsp?

Howdy,
I didn't find this answer in the archives. I'd like to pass an xsl:param value to FOP. Is this possible? I found some information about doing this through the use of a servlet, however I'm using *.BAT files (under Windows) & *.sh scripts (in *NIX). I'd like to be able to pass xsl:param or xsl:variable values, to effect output.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
