<DIV ID="MAIN">
<P>There are two ways of running FOP from the command line.</P>
<H2>Method One</H2>
<P>One is to first use an XSLT engine to produce the formatting object tree as an XML document and then running the class <CODE>com.jtauber.fop.apps.CommandLine</CODE> with the formatting object file name and PDF filename as arguments. You will need to include FOP, <A HREF="http://www.megginson.com/SAX/">SAX</A> and your SAX Parser in your classpath and so you might invoke
<P><CODE>java -cp fop_<VAR>x</VAR>_<VAR>xx</VAR>_<VAR>x</VAR>.jar;sax.jar;xp.jar com.jtauber.fop.apps.CommandLine <VAR>formatting-tree-file</VAR> <VAR>pdf-file</VAR></CODE></P>
<P>If your SAX Parser is other than <A HREF="http://www.jclark.com/xml/xp/">XP</A>, you will need to set the property <CODE>org.xml.sax.parser</CODE> to the SAX Parser class to use.</P>
<H2>Method Two</H2>
<P>Rather than performing transformation with an XSLT before invoking FOP, it is possible, if you use <A HREF="http://www.jclark.com/xml/xt.html">XT</A> as your XSLT engine, to just call FOP and have it call <A HREF="http://www.jclark.com/xml/xt.html">XT</A> for you. To do this, run the class <CODE>com.jtauber.fop.apps.XTCommandLine</CODE> with the source XML file name, XSL file name and PDF file name as arguments. You will need to include FOP, <A HREF="http://www.megginson.com/SAX/">SAX</A>, your SAX Parser and <A HREF="http://www.jclark.com/xml/xt.html">XT</A> in your classpath and so you might invoke
<P><CODE>java -cp fop_<VAR>x</VAR>_<VAR>xx</VAR>_<VAR>x</VAR>.jar;sax.jar;xp.jar;xt.jar com.jtauber.fop.apps.XTCommandLine <VAR>xml-file</VAR> <VAR>xsl-file</VAR> <VAR>pdf-file</VAR></CODE></P>
<P>Again, if your SAX Parser is other than <A HREF="http://www.jclark.com/xml/xp/">XP</A>, you will need to set the property <CODE>org.xml.sax.parser</CODE> to the SAX Parser class to use.</P>
