Re: [docbook-apps] Embedding DocBook â PDF transformation in a Java web app

[Benjamin DE DARDEL <benjamin.dedardel@gmail.com>]

Yes it works via files :
- docbook xls stylesheets are embedded in the resources jar
- they are copied in $HOME/.ant4docbook directory to be used by an internal or external processor (that generates files).
I understand that you prefer an 'in memory' approach for your web app.

This is an old problem that I looked into some time ago.
I use my ant4docbook project daily to generate pdfs, from docbook, markdown and docbook xsl1.xx.
Surely there are some interesting things to take in there.

Thanks for the suggestion. I've had a browse over the source. It seems like any reference to the embedded DocBook XSL is via Files, which is something I want to avoid. Ideally, I'd like to get this to run "out of the JAR". Am I missing some code inÂant4docbook that would demonstrate that approach?

The next step is to use xsltng + an html to pdf converter (chromium cef pdf?).

For the moment, at least, I'd like to see if I can get to PDF via FO, which means the v1 or v2 stylesheets.
