Help to get started in a servlet

2002-02-05 Thread Chinn, Gale

I am new to fop and can get it to run command line, but would like to get it
to run in a servlet.
I have followed the info on fop's embedding page using fop.war file in the
webapps directory of Tomcat on ver 3.2 and 4, but cannot get it to work
using:
http://localhost:8080/fop/fop?fo=... or
http://localhost:8080/fop/servlet/fop?fo=... 

I would just like to get a simple pdf to come back to my browser to prove a
point to my group leader.  Any help would be appreciated

TIA,

Gale,
I dropped in the WAR, put my .fo file into /webapps and called the 
servlet with

http://localhost:8080/fop/fop?fo=../webapps/test.fo
or
http://localhost:8080/fop/fop?xml=../webapps/test.xmlxsl=../webapps/test.xsl
notice the ../ at the beginning of the path to the files. That's because 
the default root path for files in tomcat is /bin so you have to start 
the relative path from there.
