totally new to FOP -Please help me

[Manisha Sathe]

I am very new to fop - just started learning it.

 

1)I downloaded the fop - 0.20.5 - binary version for windows (.zip)

2)Unzipped it (D:\fop-0.20.5)

3)Trying to run D:\fop-0.20.5\fop.bat - i get o/p as mentioned in the document

http://apache.oss.eznetsols.org/xml/fop/

4)but at the end of it i got error ->

 

[ERROR] No Input file specified

 

What's missing ? JAVA_HOME is set properly.

 

5)I also tried to compile one servlet (which i got it from web) - i put inside the classpath fop.jar and all other jars those inside fop.bat. But i am getting errors

import org.apache.fop.render.Renderer;
import org.apache.avalon.framework.logger.Logger;

public class FOPServlet extends HttpServlet

    private String xmlFile = "data.xml";
    private String xslFile = "pdfGen.xsl";

    protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest httpServletRequest, HttpServletResponse
httpServletResponse) throws ServletException, IOException
    {
        // set up a FOP driver
        Driver driver = new Driver();
        // set up the logger for the driver
        Logger logger = new ConsoleLogger(ConsoleLogger.LEVEL_INFO);
        driver.setLogger(logger);

        try
        {
            //set the renderer to be PDF
            driver.setRenderer(Driver.RENDER_PDF);

            //create the input from the XSLT transform
            XSLTInputHandler inputHandler = new XSLTInputHandler(xmlFile, xslFile);

            // now prepare the outputStrean
            ByteArrayOutputStream outStream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();

            //set the driver outputStream
            driver.setOutputStream(outStream);

            //do the XSLT
            driver.render(inputHandler.getParser(), inputHandler.getInputSource());

            //now that the content is written in the output stream,
            //get ready to send the response back to browser
            byte[] content = outStream.toByteArray();
            httpServletResponse.setContentLength(content.length);
            // set the MIME-TYPE
            httpServletResponse.setContentType("application/pdf");
            //write the content
            httpServletResponse.getOutputStream().write(content);
            httpServletResponse.getOutputStream().flush();

        } catch (Exception e)
        {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

    }

}

import org.apache.fop.apps.Driver;
