Subject: RE: FOP from XT? From: "Richard Lander" <rlander@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Sat, 20 Nov 1999 07:51:28 -0500 |
James, I guess at worse I could export the subtrees to my file system, generate a batch file that ran fop on the generated subtrees, and then run the batch file, which would also delete the subtrees when I was done. I'd like to make the process as automatic as possible. That process seems reasonable to me. Given that I was to convert several subtrees to PDF, it makes more sense to me to work from XT. Since FOP is one-pdf-at-a-time (is that right?), I would not have a way of knowing which trees to work on. Hmmm ... how about generating that batch file, as described above, but instead of exporting the subtrees to the file system, just including the XPath path of each subtree in the batch file. That way, I could run XT from the FOP commandline and grab the appropriate subtree for FOP. Does XT have to export the tree to the filesystem, or does it just pass it in memory to FOP? I've been looking at the XML-Apache site and am impressed. Congratulations and good work on donating FOP to the cause. I'm sure that it will be well-used and enjoyed. I look forward to testing out the first version in which it all works together. Thanks, Richard. -----Original Message----- From: owner-xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:owner-xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of James Tauber Sent: Saturday, November 20, 1999 12:48 AM To: xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: FOP from XT? > I'd like to execute FOP from within XT. Is there a way? I'm sure you could hack either FOP or XT to enable this, by treating FOP as an output method handler. But FOP currently implements the reverse, at James Clark's suggestion. FOP can treat XT as if it were a SAX Parser, thereby executing XT from within FOP. The com.jtauber.fop.apps.XTCommandLine (now org.apache.fop.apps.XTCommandLine) class provides a way of doing this on the command line. NOTE: I think XTCommandLine broke recently with changes to XT. Some people have also reported odd behaviour when XT/FOP are run this way. The FOP developers will work to fix these problems, but if all else fails, resort to running XT and FOP as two separate steps for now.
