Re: [Php-java-bridge-users] FOP & PHP-Java-Bridge

[<php...@li...>]

Apache FOP is a Java library which converts XSL-FO to PDF; it is invoked 
via the Java Bridge from PHP.

I run a system (on FreeBSD, but platform doesn't matter) which uses PHP 
5.2 and Java Bridge 4.0.8a to call FOP 0.20.5. We don't use the PEAR 
library XML_fo2pdf like you do, but the code is very simple and thus 
similar.

I've attempted to use FOP 0.95, but in short, FOP broke compatibility 
between 0.20.x and 0.95. We continue to use 0.20.5 in production simply 
because it works and there's no need to upgrade. Considering that 
XML_fo2pdf is out of maintenance by about five years [1], odds are it 
just doesn't work with FOP 0.95.

If you have any true need for FOP 0.95 over 0.20.x, you will need to 
hack XML_fo2pdf. If you do take the time, I'd suggest posting your patch 
to the PEAR website when you're finished.

Cheers,
