RE: HowTo Render PDF from XML string and XSL file
I posted this about a week ago, but here you go again...
Jim
public void doPost(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse res)
throws ServletException
{
... your code
try
{
String xmlString = new String(); // your xml
TransformerFactory tFactory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
File foFile= new File(foXslFile.xsl);
Source foXslSource = new StreamSource(foFile);
Transformer pdfTransformer = tFactory.newTransformer(foXslSource);
Writer out = new StringWriter();
Source xmlSource = new StreamSource(new StringReader(xmlString));
pdfTransformer.transform(xmlSource, new StreamResult(out));
out.close();
String fopstring = out.toString();
InputSource foSource = new InputSource(new StringReader(fopstring));
ByteArrayOutputStream baout = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
Driver driver = new Driver(foSource , baout);
res.setContentType(application/pdf);
driver.setRenderer(Driver.RENDER_PDF);
driver.run();
byte[] content = baout.toByteArray();
res.setContentLength(content.length); // This keeps IE happy
res.getOutputStream().write(content);
res.getOutputStream().flush();
res.flushBuffer();
}
catch (Exception e)
{
System.err.println(Exception in init: + e.toString());
e.printStackTrace();
}
... more code
}

Subject: HowTo Render PDF from XML string and XSL file
I have spent some time looking at the embedding sample, and I have some
questions. I have successfully implemented FOP as a WebService having the
XSL-FO data posted to the service and the service rendering the file onto
the local machine. Now I want to do the XML/XSL to XSL-FO
transform in the
WebService.
I noticed that the transform occurs in the XSLInputHandler. This then
allows for an InputSource and XMLReader to be available to the
Driver.render() overloaded method. The unfortunate part is the
XSLInputHandler constructor only takes File object, no stream.
I'd like to
avoid bouncing the XML data off the disk just to statisfy this requirement
for using XSLInputHandler.
So, my question is this, how can I arrive at the same results, an
InputSource and an XMLReader interfaced object for Driver.render()? Or
better yet, what I'm asking is what is going on inside
XSLInputHandler that
I can slurp out into my code. Tx :)

Any help will be greatly appreciated. regards rajiv 1) When asking questions like this it is best if you give more details of what you are trying to do. Are you trying to create structured xml of the content of a PDF file, or are you trying to get an XSL:FO representation of the whole page? Are you trying to convert PDF into SVG? 2) FOP is a rendering tool for XSL:FO so this is off topic.
