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
