An simple Example for beginer ...

Question

Hi:
I want to generate a pdf-file from somefile.xml and somefile.xsl using fop. And it doesn't work. Could somebody provide a simple example, how to do it? It would be very nice.
Thanks a lot.

Here is my code-example:
import java.io.*;
import org.apache.fop.apps.*;
import org.xml.sax.*;
import java.util.logging.*;
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
public class TestClass extends HttpServlet
     public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
     throws ServletException, IOException
          PrintWriter pw = new PrintWriter(new FileOutputStream("C:/Temp/logFile.log"));
          String xmlFileName = "C:/xml/xmlfile.xml";
          String xslFileName = "C:/xsl/xslfile.xsl";
          ServletOutputStream outStream = response.getOutputStream();
          ByteArrayOutputStream arr = new ByteArrayOutputStream(); 
          try
               XSLTInputHandler in = new XSLTInputHandler(new File(xmlFileName), new File(xslFileName));         
               Driver driver = new Driver();           
               driver.setRenderer(Driver.RENDER_PDF);           
               driver.setOutputStream(arr);                                   
               InputSource inputSource = in.getInputSource();           
               XMLReader xmlReader = in.getParser();   // Error! Unknown Source !!!                                            
               driver.render(xmlReader, inputSource);       
          catch (Exception ex)
               ex.printStackTrace(pw);
               pw.close();
          response.setContentType("application/pdf");
          response.setContentLength(arr.size());
          arr.writeTo(outStream);
          outStream.flush();
}Any idea? Thanks.
