All of these solutions are good and as you rightly point out - uncoupling the conversion code from babeldoc will not be a pleasant job. Additional thoughts: 4. Implement as a web service accepting either SOAP messages or just straight HTTP POSTS with parameters. 5. Placing babeldoc in a EJB container and submitting the document from some programmatic means, possibly via JMS. regards, Bruce. -----Original Message----- From: David Glick [mailto:dg...@co...] Sent: Wednesday, September 17, 2003 9:38 AM To: bab...@li... Subject: Re: [Babeldoc-devel] Running a transformation without the command line If I understand what you're trying to do, I can think of several options: 1. You can use the Scripting stage to create a script that listens on a socket for a stream to appear and places it into the pipeline document for conversion 2. You can send an e-mail to the EmailScanner to get the document into Babeldoc for conversion 3. You can use the ExternalApplicationScanner to create your own program to accept the flatfile and feed it into Babeldoc. I don't think it's a trivial task to tear out the flatfile coversion piece into a standalone class, but Bruce or Dejan can probably provide better insight if that's your intention.
