[xep-support] Calling from servlet not working as expected.

[SPatra at eagle.org]

Jirka,

I have already tried this and no success though.

I am evaluating for my company requirements and probably once we are 
success through, my company may like to get some consultation when needed 
while purchasing and impementing this solution.

Thanks for your advice.


Regards,

What I do in my code is the following:

 FOTransformer fot = null;
        formatter = new FormatterImpl(new
StreamSource(FormatterServlet.class.getClassLoader().getResource("xep/xep.xml").toString()));
        target = new com.renderx.xep.FOTarget(result, "PDF");
        fot = new FOTransformer(transformer, formatter);
        fot.transform(inputDoc, target);
        result.flush();
        formatter.cleanup();

And I have xep.xml located in  WEB-INF/classes/xep inside WAR. In this
directory inside WAR I have also other configuration files like
license.xml, hyphnenation patterns and fonts, all are relatively
referenced from withing xep.xml. This way XEP is completely
self-contained inside WAR and you don't have to separately install XEP
into application server. You just deploy WAR file and that is.

Well, as you can see in my signature I'm providing consulting services.
