[Wh2fo-devel] Getting familiarized and more

[Carlos N. <cc...@ho...>]

Hi Nachev, Matthias and Fabio

Well, for now, i'm trying to get more and more familiarized with the code, 
and trying to develop a servlet like FopServlet that helps you to get a pdf 
from a word2000-html file instead of fo file.

The basic steps will be:
  1) Get a Word2000-Html ready for dynamic data (below is Fabio's mail at 
'wh2...@li...' about this).
  2) Get a xml fed up with the data.
  3) Get the wh2fo's xml, xsl and AttsXsl with wh2fo from 1)
  4) Get the fo with xalan from 2) and 3)
  5) Get the pdf with fop from 4)

Step 5) is the original FopServlet (at Fop-0.20.1\docs\examples\advanced)
Step 2) is just build a dom object with data from a bean or directly from 
database.
Step 1) requires to define some extra styles that will be replaced by means 
of an extra xslt.
Step 3) requires to wrap som classes that prodece that extra xsl and the 
<xsl:import href...> at the wh2fo original xsl.
Step 4) is a simple transformation.

Well just step 4), the easier, is putting me in trouble, due to the 
<xsl:apply-templates  select="document('Tables.xml')...>, i think.
If the transform process cannot find the file Tables.xml (from the wh2fo 
examples distribution), it generates an incomplete fo file. If it find it 
the transform process never end.
Any idea? Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Carlos

>CustomerName, CustomerAddress and so on, then you can replate them from the

><xsl:apply-templates select="document('customers.xml')
>     //customers/customer/personal/name" />  and get the dynamic content.
