Ant FOP task

["Morrison, John" <Jo...@uk.experian.com>]

Hi All,

Does anybody have a build.xml file which demonstrates how to take xml+xslt
files and produce a pdf with the ant fop class? (if yes, could you email it
to me either on or off list ;)

Thanks,

J.

there is a command line class in

org.apache.fop.apps

in v 0.20, I believe the name of the class is "Fop"

just run the class with no arguments, and it will give you
the usage.  You can then use the "<java>" tasks
to transform your xml to fop, and then use Fop to turn it into
a pdf (fop will due the xsl transformation for you).


<java  classname="org.apache.fop.apps.Fop">
       <arg value="-xsl" />
       <arg value="foo.xsl" />
       <arg value="-xml" />
       <arg value="foo.xml" />
       <arg value="-pdf" />
       <arg value="foo.pdf" />
</java>

OR (to do the transformation yourself)

<style basedir="."
       destdir="."
       includes="foo.xml"
       extension="fo"
       style="foo.xsl" />
<java  classname="org.apache.fop.apps.Fop">
       <arg value="-fo" />
       <arg value="foo.fo" />
       <arg value="-pdf" />
       <arg value="foo.pdf" />
</java>
