public class: Fop [javadoc | source]
java.lang.Object
   org.apache.fop.apps.Fop
Primary class that activates the FOP process for embedded usage.

JAXP is the standard method of embedding FOP in Java programs. Please check our embedding page for samples (these are also available within the distribution in FOP_DIR\examples\embedding)

Methods within FOUserAgent are available to customize portions of the process. For example, a specific Renderer object can be specified, also ElementMappings which determine elements in the FO that can be processed) can be added.

At the moment, it is recommended not to reuse an instance of this class for more than one rendering run.
Constructor:
 Fop(String outputFormat,
    FOUserAgent ua,
    OutputStream stream) throws FOPException 
    Constructor for use with already-created FOUserAgents. It uses MIME types to select the output format (ex. "application/pdf" for PDF).
    Parameters:
    outputFormat - the MIME type of the output format to use (ex. "application/pdf").
    ua - FOUserAgent object
    stream - the output stream
    Throws:
    FOPException - if setting up the DefaultHandler fails

Method from org.apache.fop.apps.Fop Detail:
 public DefaultHandler getDefaultHandler() throws FOPException 
    Returns the DefaultHandler object that will receive the SAX stream containing the FO document to be rendered.
 public FormattingResults getResults() 
    Returns the results of the rendering process. Information includes the total number of pages generated and the number of pages per page-sequence. Call this method only after the rendering process is finished. Note that the results are only available for output formats which make use of FOP's layout engine (PDF, PS, etc.).
 public FOUserAgent getUserAgent()
