FOP, XSL & Struts

[Ajay Chitre <aj...@diligentteam.com>]

Hello,

I am trying to create a report in PDF format using FOP in my Struts based
application.  When I use a previously created "fo" file my code works fine.

For example, when I do something like this it works fine;

//This is a test!
String foParam = "c:\\temp\\TestReport.fo";   //TODO
FileInputStream file = new FileInputStream(foParam);
InputSource foFile = new InputSource(file);
ByteArrayOutputStream out = new ByteArrayOutputStream();

//Instantiate Driver 
org.apache.fop.apps.Driver driver = new Driver(foFile, out);

driver.setLogger(log);
driver.setRenderer(Driver.RENDER_PDF);
driver.run();

This works!

Now what I would like to do is create the "fo" file dynamically.  The report
data is in a collection of Value objects.  What's the best way to do this
in my Struts Action class?  Please help.

Thanks.

The Action has direct access to the HttpResponse, and would do it the
same way as any plain servlet.

I can't be more specific without spending more time in the FOP
documentation. But any example for a plain servlet should work in an
Action, just use the provided response instance to obtain the writer.
