You could use Apache FOP, the world's first print formatter driven by XSL
formatting objects (XSL-FO) and the world's first output independent
formatter. You can create PDF Documents and many more formats with it.
See http://xml.apache.org/fop/
You don't need to create a separate project. In my opinion it depends on
what you want to realize. Anyways, maybe it makes sense to create a separate
framework and then use this separate wo-print-framework in several wo-apps.
I can't tell you much about reliable page breaks. Anyways you can ask the
apache FOP mailinglist about that topic.
I don't think you need to create a Java-Client app at all. It doesn't even
make sense in my opinion. With apache FOP you create the pdf-documents on
the server and send the created pdf back to the client as a pdf-response.
It's easy to realise and very fast and reliable. The best thing about apache
FOP --> it's free!!!
Well, hope this helps!

Betreff: Printing....
Now that I've got my WO app up and running, I now have a different
problem: I need to print a whole mess o' reports. I need RTF or PDF
output and it needs NOT to be in a big-honkin' web form. I need
reliable page breaks. Oh, and I'm talking about a 300-record
one-record-per-page kind of thing.
I'm thinking that it'd probably be necessary to make a second app (I
could re-use a lot of stuff). What I don't know is: Java Client?
EOF+Cocoa? Can someone point me in the right direction about the best
approach?
