Matt:
I have spent the last three years learning XML/XSL/XPath and the like.
Since I work almost exclusively with Microsoft technologies - I crossed
over to the dark side :) - I have never had the need to learn Java. It
seems all the formatters for FO are written in Java, so I can't jump
into the fray with FO as I have with other XML languages. I appreciate
your help, but I am still a little lost. I understand the command line
prompt calling FOP, but I may have to wait for another windows program
that will help with the testing and debugging process.
Thanks again,
Jeff Langdon

Jeffrey, you may find using FOP a little rough going with no experience
in Java. I guess you could get by just using it as a stand-alone app.
Here is a batch file I use to set the classpath, compile a FOP embedded
program, and run that program. I prefer setting the classpath explicitly
like this rather than relying on a pre-set system classpath. The system
classpath can get out of hand pretty quick, and this way makes sure
nothing unwanted sneaks in. You may have been looking at some old docs,
because I don't think you need w3c anymore.
set LIBDIR=D:\Downloads\Fop\092601-cvs\xml-fop\lib
set
classpath=.;%LIBDIR%\..\build\fop.jar;%LIBDIR%\batik.jar;%LIBDIR%\xalan-
2.0.
0.jar;%LIBDIR%\xerces-1.2.3.jar;%LIBDIR%\avalon-framework-4.0.jar;%LIBDI

ogkit-1.0b4.jar;%LIBDIR%\jimi-1.0.jar;C:\bea\wlserver6.1\lib\weblogic.ja
r;%J
AVA_HOME%\lib\tools.jar
javac -verbose FOtoPDF.java
java FOtoPDF
Note: you'll also need (your Java Home)/bin in your PATH environment
variable.
Good luck,
Matt

Subject: Jar Files
Hello:
I just downloaded Fop-0.20.2. I have read that I need to set
the class
path for the following: fop.jar, xerces.jar and w3c.jar. I found
fop.jar in the build folder, and a .jar called xerces-1.2.3 in the
lib folder, but I can't find the w3c.jar. I have no experience with
Java, so I am a little confused about how to set up FOP and the class
path. After scanning through two XML/XSL books and the FOP web site -
http://xml.apache.org/ - I am no closer to a solution.
Could someone point me in the right direction?
TIA,
Jeff Langdon
