FDF- dynamic PDF support plugin available for Geronimo

[ilango_g <il...@yahoo.com>]

Hi
I was wondering if I can install a plugin from the plugins repo for FDF
(Text file format used for data exported from .PDF form fields; typically
smaller than PDF files, because they only contain form field data, not the
entire form; )support. 
Please let me know that is possible.

thanks
ilango

We don't have a FDF plugin but you could write one.  I don't know  
anything about FDF... if it is only a jar then the difference between  
listing the jar as a dependency of your app and having a plugin for  
the jar is that with the plugin any app that uses it will get the  
classes loaded in the same classloader, whereas if you list it as an  
app dependency the classes will be loaded in each application  
classloader.

I hope this answers what you are asking.
