Hello everyone,
I have two questions regarding transforming XML to PDF.
1. I get data from db2 as xml format. This file has different templates in it.
When I transform this to pdf, I am getting error at FOP rendering because the
xsl file does not just choose the template I specify. It picks up all the data
from the file. This causes fop to error out. The e sample xml file is given
below. Can someone help me figure out how to select only one template at a time
with out parsing the xml file to break it into different files.

2. How can I run XALAN and FOP interactively from a web page rather than a
batch process? I do not want to use cocoon? Is there another way? I am
thinking of using Class and method.invoke to invoke the commands.
Your help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Geeta
