I have thought of a way of doing this which only involves a couple of
internal classes.
1. Create a new event response type (lets call is FopPdf)
public class FopPdf {
private RenderCommand fopRenderCommand;
private String fileName;
}
2. Create a FopPdfComponentEventResultProcessor which does the following:
2a. Use an instance of RenderCommandComponentEventResultProcessor to
convert the RenderCommand to XML (FOP)
2b. Use apache FOP to create the PDF binary and construct a StreamResponse.
2c. Use StreamResponseResultProcessor to push the StreamResponse to the
HTTPResponse
3. In your AppModule, register the FopPdfComponentEventResultProcessor to
handle responses of type FopPdf
4. Return FopPdf from a page's onActivate() or from a component's event
handler method.
