Hello Shawn,
you can make FOP write to an ByteArrayOutputStream.
By doing something like this:
ByteArrayOutputStream os = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
...(driver+FOP stuff)...
driver.setOutputStream(os);
InputStream is = new ByteArrayInputStream(os.getBytes());
.. now read from stream...
Hope this helps,
greetings,
Patrick

Betreff: PDF from FOP to database as BLOB
Hi,
Currently we are dynamically creating our PDF documents using FOP in
real-time and displaying them on the browser without a problem. We've
handled the CPU intensiveness of FOP by limiting the number
of users that
can concurrently create a report to 1 or 2 (depending on the server).
BUT - As the number of users requesting PDF reports on our application
scales up we'll need a better solution. Since our users can
wait for these
reports we've decided to run a nightly job to create them and
store the
PDFs in our database as a BLOB. That way during peak usage hours our
servers will only need to deal with returning the PDF to the browser.
My question is, HOW, using FOP and JDBC can I get my PDF into
the database
as a BLOB.
The java.sql.PreparedStatement method setBinaryStream(int
parameterIndex,
InputStreamx, int length) requires an input stream - how can
I get this
from FOP? If I instead us the java.sql.PreparedStatement
method setBlob
(int i, Blob x) method - how can I create a BLOB from what I
have from FOP?
Any Ideas would be very helpful.
Thank You!
Shawn
