 * Example servlet to generate a PDF from a servlet.

 * </ul>
 * or
 * <ul>
 *   <li>xml: the path to an XML file to render</li>
 *   <li>xslt: the path to an XSLT file that can transform the above XML to XSL-FO</li>
 * </ul>
 * <br/>
 * Example URL: http://servername/fop/servlet/FopServlet?fo=readme.fo

 * Example URL: http://servername/fop/servlet/FopServlet?xml=data.xml&xslt=format.xsl
 * <br/>
 * For this to work with Internet Explorer, you might need to append "&ext=.pdf"
 * to the URL.
 * (todo) Ev. add caching mechanism for Templates objects
