Example: Using JSPReportProcessor with PDFContext

To view the contents of an example JSP source file that you can use with JSPRunReport, see JSPcust_table.jsp. You can also download a ZIP file that contains the JSP example file. The zipped file also contains XML and XSL example files that you can use with the XSLReportProcessor example (PCLRunReport).

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
//
// The following example (JSPRunReport) uses the JSPReportProcessor and the
// PDFContext classes to obtain data from a specified URL and convert the data
// to the PDF format. The data is then streamed to a file as a PDF document.
//
// Command syntax:
//     java JSPRunReport <jsp_Url> <output_filename>
