This article shows you how to publish XML documents in PDF using Apache Cocoon. Cocoon can create result documents in a variety of formats, including HTML and PDF. Cocoon’s popularity reflects that of the Adobe’s PDF format, which most vendors prefer for e-mailing richly formatted printable documents and reports. Cocoon converts not only text content, but also graphs and images. This article focuses on using Cocoon to dynamically generate HTML and PDF.
I read through the article and everything seems easy enough to accomplish. I will probably install a local copy of JBoss to play around with this a bit as it could be very useful in the documents that we create for Business Logs.
