>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TAPESTRY-2217
>             Project: Tapestry
>          Issue Type: New Feature
>    Affects Versions: 5.0.10
>            Reporter: Olivier Jacquet
>            Assignee: Howard M. Lewis Ship

> This is what I sent to the mailing list:
> Is it possible to access the rendered page result from within a page without calling the actual http:// address?
> I would need this so that I can setup a page that generates xml (xsl-fo) to be processed by fop [1] to convert it to pdf. That is much more readable than generating the xml of pdf programmatically.
> So, basically, what I want is the following unless someone knows a better way:
> class MyPage {
>   function onSubmit() {
>      FOPPage xml = new FOPPage();
>      String output = xml.render(); // or something like this
>      ...save the output to disk...
>      ...convert the output to pdf on disk with FOP...
>      ...send the generated pdf to the user...
>   }
> }
> MyPage.tml:
> Click the button to get the pdf:
> <t:form><input type="submit"></t:form>
> FOPPage.tml:
> <?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1" ?>
> <fo:root xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format">
> ...
> Thank you for considering this.
