Well, I've used Cocoon before - and I agree with you that the first invocation of FOP is fairly slow (>2-3 seconds), but subsequent calls are "relatively" quick (~.25-.5seconds). > This would require you to write the XSL-FO content to a file before > invoking FOP. That's one of the reasons why I'd rather want to get around it. Any other ideas? Benedikt -- Gaudeo te illud de me rogavisse.
