This means the Java VM can't load the class in the error message. The clue is to supply the necessary jar files in the classpath. This involves the -cp parameter. I suggest that if you plan to use Java in the future that you at least read about some basics on launching the Java VM. The

Hello Jeremias, It looks like it could be a bit more complicated than some missing commands. The reason I was doing this was that I wanted uncompressed PDF as a template: FOP's great but a bit slow for 200-odd near-identical documents. In the end what I did was make the PDF in FOP and use

Adding Fonts - Must I use absolute paths in fopconfig.xml?

I've got my own servlet with FOP which reads a fopconfig.xml file that I deploy with the servlet. So far, so good. However, when I added fonts to fopconfig.xml, I had a bunch of problems until I hardcoded the path to the font under my servlet. Obviously, this is a problem because my servlet
