I use FOP on the client side. The application (not applet) offers templates for different kinds of documents e.g. invitations, advertisements etc. The user can enter text and choose from an image list (remote db and local files) and the app produces a pdf. In my case it was better to use fop on the client side because the images are rather big and once used are saved on the clients hard disk. So every subsequent use of the same template and pictures takes place on the client side with no further downloading. So far everything works fine with fop. But I can't tell you much about big documents because I only have single page documents. And there are only images and texts, so fop is sufficient for my needs. Compared to the prize of xep, I think fop is the library of choice.

M�rz 2003 14:56 An: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Betreff: RE: FOP in production app I saw a number of posted responses to David's query but it seems like most respondents are using FOP on the server side. Is there much experience in using FOP on the client side, say inside of an applet? I am interested in streaming XSLT to the user's browser and having an applet transform it into a PDF, then invoke Acrobat reader to render it on the desktop. Is this a common application? It is related to this thread in that I am concerned about production support in such an environment. Is there a better way? Thanks.

Should I expect a commercial product like XEP or XSLFormatter to be more robust in a production application? Any experiences/comments appreciated.
