The following script shows how you can call the FOP server from a REALbasic
program:
Dim socket as New HTTPSocket
Dim file as New FolderItem("output.pdf")
// download the PDF output to this file
Dim xml as String
Dim template as String
Dim result as boolean
Dim serverURL as String
// this is the FOP server
serverURL="http://localhost:8087/J4LFOPServer/servlet"
// this is the xsl-fo file
template ="departmentEmployees.fo"
// input xml data
xml="<?xml version=""1.0"" encoding=""iso-8859-1""?> <departments><department><departmentName>R&D</departmentName> <person> <name>John Schmidt</name> "
xml=xml +"<address>Red street 3</address> <status>A</status> </person> <person> <name>Paul Bones</name> <address>White street 5</address> <status>A</status> "
xml=xml +"</person> <person> <name>Mark Mayer</name> <address>Blue street 5</address> <status>A</status> </person> <person> <name>Janet Black</name> "
xml=xml +"<address>Black street 8</address> <status>I</status> </person></department><department> <departmentName>Sales</departmentName> <person> "
xml=xml +"<name>Juan Gomez</name> <address>Green street 3</address> <status>A</status> </person> <person> <name>Juliet Bones</name> <address>White street 5</address> "
xml=xml +" <status>A</status> </person></department></departments>"
// call server now
socket.SetPostContent(xml , "text/xml")
result=socket.post(serverURL+"?TEMPLATE="+template, file, 60)
