Dynamic page break control

[Kuba Królikowski <ku...@kompakt.pl>]

Hello!

I'm new Fop user. Now I'm recognizing this utility and analyzing if it 
is suitable for my needs. I'm afraid about page break controling in Fop. 
I need such functionality as:
1.  I want to print tables. Content in some cells has a lof of rows 
(more than one) - I don't know how many before printout generating 
because it depends on text length and font size. One table row should be 
on one side (it can't be breaking). At the end of site I want to put 
summary - for example the sum of values in one column. To count this 
summary I have to know where will be page break. This summary should be 
printed on the start of next page too.
2. Otherwise there shouldn't be summary when on first page, for example, 
there is only header of the table (first row is on the next page) - I 
have to know how many rows of table is printed on page and then put 
summary or not.
3. Otherwise I want to send some special steering codes at end of the 
page to the printer like 'print diacritic code' or 'change paper feeder' 
e.t.c.

So I have some questions:
1. Is there any method for page break control in java, such as 
'listeners' or 'handlers'?
2. Can I dynamically, during printout generating, do some actions at the 
end of page and make some changes in content?
3. How can I send escape sequences, steering codes to the printer from Fop?
