I've got a requirement that a small subset of my users must be able to generate and print many documents (in the hundreds).
Basically, I've got the code set up to generate all the PDF Documents (the user would run this first and let that run for however long it would take - maybe even let it run overnight as a batch process), but where I started to run into my problem is how to get them to the local printer without making the user sit there and download each document bringing it up in Adobe Acrobat Reader where the user would then have to hit print. That is not acceptable.
So what I was thinking was I would create a small Java Client application that would fetch the generated documents one at a time and send each to the local printer.
Questions:
1) Does this seem like an appropriate solution?
2) If so, is the connection secure because these documents would have sensitive information in them like SSNs...? How could I ensure security?
3) Any gotchas using the javax.print package to send the document bytes to a printer? (I've never used that package before.)
4) Should I use DirectToJavaClient or just JavaClient. This little app's only purpose is to download the generated documents and send them to the printer...I'm basically thinking status bar, message text (for any errors), a Start Button (brining up perhaps the native system's print dialog), and a Stop Button. I haven't used Java Client or D2JC before, so I have no idea if D2JC is overkill...
Thanks in advance!
