RE: Why is FO(P) a superior model than what most proprietary too ls propose

["Kilmer, Erich" <Er...@bellhowell.com>]

I would also be interested in understanding more on the viability of FOP as
a reporting tool. What are people's thought on this?
Thanks,
Erich

We are considering using FOP in place of JReports or any other reporting
tools.  More needs to be written on how to use Cocoon and FOP as a true
report writer.  Any help would be great.  I'm currently working with Corda
in hopes that they will change the SVG format to inlining so that it can
be easy used with FOP.  If any of you would like to talk to them about
this that would be great.

We are considering this strongly.  I just had a conversation with a couple
of members of management here which were very positive.
