I've worked with both FOP and JasperReports
and I really prefer the FO format over jasperreport's custom format.
But Jasperreports allows to use Java/POJO based transformations, so I am
wondering if this is possible in FOP.
Basically the idea is to replace:
- generate XML based on POJO
- transform XML with XSL to FO
- feed FOP the FO
with
- supply POJO to "JSP without http" which generates FO
- feed FOP the FO
Does anyone know an (open source?) library which can do something like:
class Person {
private String firstName;
private String lastName;
// getters and setters
}
...
<jspWithoutHttp:valueObject name="personList"
class="java.util.List<Person>"/>
...
<% for (Person person : personList) { %>
<fo:block>
<%= person.getFirstName%>
</fo:block>
<fo:block>
<%= person.getLastName%>
</fo:block>
<% } %>
...
This should be usable in fat clients, webclients, ...: it is not bound
to the HTTP protocol.
