One XML multiple XSL stylesheets (XSLT) to one .FO to One PDF

188 views Asked by At

I have created different stylesheets using Altova StyleVision for different pages for our website application. One XSLT would be for quotes and another for plans selected.

I am also new to XML and XSLT so it took some time to understand.

My question: I have One JSON file which gets converted to XML then to dynamically choose different sheets depending on the preferences of the user and combined them to produce a .FO file to PDF.

We decided to use Saxon and Apache FOP.

It's not clear to me exactly what your application architecture is (perhaps it's not even decided yet?) which makes this question rather hard to answer. The most obvious would be to write a Java servlet that accepts a request from the user, and based on the URL and/or parameters, invokes a transformation using Saxon's Java API and then sends the result in the HTTP response. Perhaps I'm missing some complexity that makes it more difficult than that?
