## org.apache.fop.servlet
Class FopServlet

    java.lang.Object
      javax.servlet.GenericServlet
          javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet
              org.apache.fop.servlet.FopServlet

All Implemented Interfaces:
  java.io.Serializable, javax.servlet.Servlet, javax.servlet.ServletConfig

Direct Known Subclasses:
  FopPrintServlet

    public class FopServlet

extends javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet

Example servlet to generate a PDF from a servlet.
Servlet param is:

- fo: the path to a XSL-FO file to render

or

- xml: the path to an XML file to render
- xslt: the path to an XSLT file that can transform the above XML to XSL-FO

Example URL: http://servername/fop/servlet/FopServlet?fo=readme.fo
Example URL: http://servername/fop/servlet/FopServlet?xml=data.xml&xslt=format.xsl
For this to work with Internet Explorer, you might need to append "&ext=.pdf" to the URL. (todo) Ev. add caching mechanism for Templates objects

    protected javax.xml.transform.Source convertString2Source(java.lang.String param)

  Converts a String parameter to a JAXP Source object.

  Parameters:
    `param` - a String parameter

    Source the generated Source object

### renderFO

    protected void renderFO(java.lang.String fo,
                            javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse response)

  Renders an XSL-FO file into a PDF file. The PDF is written to a byte array that is returned as the method's result.

  Parameters:
    `fo` - the XSL-FO file
    `response` - HTTP response object
  Throws:
    `FOPException` - If an error occurs during the rendering of the XSL-FO
    `javax.xml.transform.TransformerException` - If an error occurs while parsing the input file
    `java.io.IOException` - In case of an I/O problem

                   throws FOPException,
                          javax.xml.transform.TransformerException,
                          java.io.IOException

  Renders an input file (XML or XSL-FO) into a PDF file. It uses the JAXP transformer given to optionally transform the input document to XSL-FO. The transformer may be an identity transformer in which case the input must already be XSL-FO. The PDF is written to a byte array that is returned as the method's result.

  Parameters:
    `src` - Input XML or XSL-FO
    `transformer` - Transformer to use for optional transformation
    `response` - HTTP response object
  Throws:
    `FOPException` - If an error occurs during the rendering of the XSL-FO
    `javax.xml.transform.TransformerException` - If an error occurs during XSL transformation
    `java.io.IOException` - In case of an I/O problem

### getFOUserAgent
