I would like to have (and develop, if necessary) a JBI service engine that
contains an XSLT stylesheet that transforms an input message (XML) into XSL-FO.
The service engine would then apply XSL-FO formatting and generate a PDF into
a file specified at SE configuration/deployment time. So in other words, the
flow would be:
Nmr --[xml message]--> [XSL FO SE]
|
-->[XSLT stylesheet]-->[XSL-FO]-->[Apache
FOP]-->[PDF output file]
It looks like I may be able to use the file:sender component, and write my own
Marshaller...am I on the right track here? It seems the page at
http://fusesource.com/docs/esb/4.3/jbi_file/index.html is a place to start.
However...forgive the newbie question here...how would I deploy the custom
marshaller? To use the file component ordinarily, I would use the maven
archetype to generate the project, then configure it using Spring (in
xbean.xml). Would I simply write my marshaller class in src/main/java and then
reference it in xbean.xml? And where in the project would I put all the FOP
jars (and their dependencies)...there is nothing like a /lib directory within
the structure generated by the maven archetype...
Thanks for any help you can offer.
