Hi Abel,

I did some searching too. Creating a web service in Java with Tomcat doesn't
look too tricky and the examples on the FOP site itself show how to put FOP
into Java apps so maybe it's possible..... y'know, for me.

I'm happy enough with Saxon and as you say, it's supplied as a .NET
assembly. The problem is that the Saxon people use an old version of IKVM
which means my FOP translation also has to use that old version. I therefore
can't upgrade to a later version of IKVM until the Saxon people do. :-(

In fairness, I did say 'no XSLT v2 for now' and I'd like native .NET XSLT v2
right now (in-fact, I wanted it mid last year but Microsoft were giving no
signs of v2 support back then at all.)

Sure, in an ideal world, I'd throw-out 18 months of .NET and re-write the
whole thing in Java! I'm not going to get into a .NET vs Java discussion.
For me, for now, .NET is what I've got and what I'm happy with.... I could
just do with not loosing 1Mb of RAM every time I make a PDF.
....I know, I'll just add more RAM!! ;-)

No, I've not heard of him. We just bought the software. If you don't buy the
support you don't get your Emails answered by XSLFast. (And yes, I
understand you only get what you pay for.)

That's very good news.

Yeah, right. No money = No support. ;-)

Yes. Very useful. Cheers Abel.
Bye for now
