FOP Servlet Readme

This directory contains two sample servlets that use FOP:

- FopServlet can take a XSL:FO file or a XML+XSLT as parameters to create a PDF
that is being shown in the browser.

- FopPrintServlet has the same parameters but prints the generated document to
the default printer instead of generating a PDF.

Creating the WAR file:

1. Get a servlet.jar and put it in the lib directory under this directory.
2. Run build.bat (on Windows) or build.sh (on Unix) to create the WAR file.
3. Put the WAR file in you favourite web container.
