Description

This is what I sent to the mailing list:

Is it possible to access the rendered page result from within a page without calling the actual http:// address?

I would need this so that I can setup a page that generates xml (xsl-fo) to be processed by fop [1] to convert it to pdf. That is much more readable than generating the xml of pdf programmatically.

So, basically, what I want is the following unless someone knows a better way:

class MyPage {
function onSubmit()

{ FOPPage xml = new FOPPage(); String output = xml.render(); // or something like this ...save the output to disk... ...convert the output to pdf on disk with FOP... ...send the generated pdf to the user... }

}

MyPage.tml:
Click the button to get the pdf:
<t:form><input type="submit"></t:form>

FOPPage.tml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1" ?>
<fo:root xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format">
...

Thank you for considering this.
