Hi all!

I am currently working on the rendering of output for a show, specifically orders, invoices and the like.

If what I found is right, OFBiz currently takes the conversion from in-memory data to XSL-FO in one goal through FTL templates.

Would it be a) possible and b) desireable to make this a 2-step process, i.e.:

1. have OFBiz generate XML, for example:

<order>
  <head>
    <party id="XX">
       ...
    </party>
    ...
  </head>
  <items>
    ...
  </items>
</order>

2. turn that XML into XSL-FO using an XSLT stylesheet.

I can for sure create FTL templates which generate the XML I am looking for. But is there a mechanism for chaining the steps, i.e. FTL processing, then XSLT processing, then FOP processing?

Does this make sense at all?

Regards,
Torsten
