RE: Improving FOP Performance? -
If the requirements include: speed, efficiency, portability, and high reliability for multi-threading; then Ada with the Ravenscar profile for rate-monotonic scheduling is the best solution.

Also, you might want to considering using a servlet engine like tomcat to take care of multi-threading issues rather than trying to write your own thread code (unless of course you like writing multi-threaded code ...:) . You would then modify your existing code to invoke the servlet rather than your shell script ... that way you won't have to worry about restarting the jvm as tomcat will have it running constantly ... the rest of your code (which limits the # of simultaneous transactions to three ) can probably stay the same ..

We need to generate roughly around 25,000 Invoices Per Month and the Number would increase each Month. We generate PDF Docs from XML Input Files. We had Trial runs to check for Performance and Memory usage.

So you are starting, and stopping JVM, each time you run fop. Consider writing java app that invokes fop processing in a loop.

RE: Memory consumption
Most memory leaks are the result of using pointers. If a language provides a construct that can replace the use of pointers, then this problem can be minimized. Java has significant overhead because it checks its dispatching at run-time rather than at compile time. Bob Leif Robert C.

RE: Tools to convert a word document to XSL file?
Word 2003 can be run in XML format. The top level schema appears to be well designed. Unfortunately, the Microsoft naming system tends to be overly cryptic. The sources for the lower level schemas do not appear to be available. This lack of availability has stopped me from validating the top level schema with XMLSpy. This capacity for validation would greatly facilitate extension of Word's capabilities. Although XSL is available, XSL-FO does not appear to be available. It is conceivable that Microsoft's nonstandard approach to styling could be translated and both the schemas and XML documents reused to create W3C standard documents with XSL-FO based stylesheets. Microsoft unfortunately is creating their forms with a different technology than Xforms. Unfortunately, it does not appear that even one of Microsoft's major competitors has had the necessary combination to technological and business sense to build a W3C standard document processor.

RE: FOP performance - frustrating.. help!!
From: Bob Leif To: Lee Insoo A good deal of your problems comes from the selection of Java as the programming language. Java is a tremendous marketing success. Unfortunately, Java was obsolete the day it was created. Although Java is owned by SUN, it has been the second finest gift to Microsoft. It has their competitors using a flawed tool. The finest gift was when IBM told its customers that OS/2 would run best on Microchannel hardware. The best language for web tools is Ada, which is ISO/IEC standard 8652:1995(E). It is what Java claimed to be, portable. Ada includes generics (templates) which work; enumerated types; and, whenever possible, dispatches at compile time. Ada is like XML in that it has range checking and begin and end structures. There is an excellent GNU Ada compiler (GNAT) available at ftp://ftp.cs.nyu.edu/pub/gnat/ On a 1.4 gigaHz Pentium, the time for a GNAT compile and link is minimal. The error-messages are excellent. http://www.adaic.org/ is a source of useful information on Ada. -Original Message- From: Lee, Insoo [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, December 27, 2002 12:30 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: FOP performance - frustrating.. help!!

RE: Why is FO(P) a superior model than what most proprietary tool s propose
From: Bob Leif To: Matt Savino et al. I believe that, good Ada app-server, is covered by the following abbreviated version of a posting from Pascal Obry, which I received from Team-Ada. Since JGNAT is an Ada compiler that produces J codes, you may not need a translator. Parenthetically, I have nothing against J codes. I believe that the translators from Java to Ada do exist and suggest that you post to Team-Ada to obtain more information. However if I remember correctly, direct translation from Java to Ada produces code that has a large number of pointers, which are not normally present in Ada code. Since Quest Diagnostics produces medical software, you will find the high level of safety associated with a validated Ada compiler to be suitable for a regulated industry. I will gladly send you some of my publications that are in PDF form. --- Pascal Obry [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Team Ada: Ada Advocacy Issues (83 95) [EMAIL PROTECTED] A W S - Ada Web Server 1.2 release / SOAP 0.9 Authors: Dmitriy Anisimkov Pascal Obry April 29th, 2002, Dmitriy Anisimkov and I are very happy to announce the availability of the AWS 1.2 release. The API could change slightly at this stage but should be fairly stable now. AWS stand for Ada Web Server. It is not a real Web Server like Apache. It is a small yet powerful HTTP component to embedded in any applications. It means that you can communicate with your application using a standard Web browser and this without the need for a Web Server. AWS is fully developed in Ada with GNAT. AWS support SOAP, Server Push, HTTPS/SSL, client HTTP, hotplug modules... We have worked very hard to make this release as stable as possible. Note that Hotplug modules are very nice but have a potentially security hole as it is implemented today. A new secure implementation will be proposed in a future version. The SOAP implementation has been validated on http://validator.soapware.org/. Pointers: - AWS User's Mailing List: http://lists.act-europe.fr/mailman/listinfo/aws AWS Home Page (sources and documentation): http://libre.act-europe.fr/ Templates_Parser sources: Templates_Parser module (sources and documentation) is provided with AWS distribution. Latest version of this module and the documentation can be found at: http://perso.wanadoo.fr/pascal.obry/contrib.html http://perso.wanadoo.fr/pascal.obry/templates_parser.html Templates_Parser is a very useful add-on for AWS. You should have a look at it if you plan to develop a Web service. Templates_Parser permits to completely separate the HTML design from the Ada code. Some other Templates engine are WebMacro, FreeMarker, PHP, ASP, JSP and Velocity. All of them are based on explicit iterators (#foreach with a variable) where Templates_Parser is based on implicit ones (you use a more intuitive table iterator). Be sure to check the documentation. Only the Velocity project has the goal to support complete separation of HTML design and code.

Also I worry about serious slowdown if we ever get 3 or 4 users on the same instance of the app server all running a decent sized PDF at once.

For the report I was running, FOP was about 10 times faster than RenderX. But from most accounts performance between the two should similar. I figure there must be something particular about my stylesheet that RenderX didn't like. So I called XEP to see what kind of support my interest in purchasing their $5k/cpu product might garner.

RE: HELP DRIVER!
From: Bob Leif, It seems that the Java underlying FOP is a source of a significant number of problems. I would suggest that the developers switch to a much more reliable and efficient object oriented technology, Ada. Since Ada is an ISO standard and has an extensive validation suite, it is much more portable than Java.
