Different output from Driver
Hello all:
A question from a FOP newbie -- is there any big obstacle to getting the
Driver class to render to something other than a file? I'd like to write a
servlet that returns the PDF directly to the client. But Driver writes to
an OutputStream, and servlets write to a PrintWriter. Maybe there's some
simple manipulation I can do and I just need to learn the I/O API better .
. .
Thanks in advance for any help

I saw the example servlet but it seemed as if it was only part of the 0.18
download, not the 0.17 I was working with. In the 0.17 Driver.java, the
only constructor to Driver takes no arguments. The 0.18 code, on the other
hand, renders my files very differently.
So ... is the Driver constructor for an arbitrary OutputStream new in 0.18?
And is the 0.18 code stable/usable?
Thanks,
steve

You can get an OutputStream from the servlet 2.2 API. There's an example
servlet in docs/examples/embedding. Binary formats like PDF require using
OutputStream because Writers provide character encoding which can
interfere with the binary format.
