[Springframework-developer] XSL-FO (Apache-FOP)

[Darren D. <da...@da...>]

There have been a couple of posts in the forums about FOP
(http://forum.springframework.org/search.php?search&search_keywords=3Dfop=
) and
we now have a similar requirement here in one of our projects.

It's actually pretty trivial to implement when extending AbstractXsltView=
 but
I think it's useful to include the generic parts in the framework.  Addit=
ional
build dependencies include only fop.jar (~1.3MB) although the target app =
will
have to include batik.jar and the avalon framework jar as runtime depende=
ncies
since FOP is hardlinked to Avalon logging in the current stable branch.  =
This
will change to commons logging in the next major release.

I'd like to commit this if there are no objections.  No modifications are
required to existing framework classes and it could go in for 1.1.2 I thi=
nk.

(Any comments welcome from those with significant FOP experience as I don=
't
have a great deal).
