Thanks to all for their suggestions. After a bit of a rough start, I have
XSL transforming my XML to a "FO" document which is processed by FOP into a
PDF file. My final goal is for this to be within a servlet since my XML is
dynamic which means embedding FOP - but the Apache site talks about how to
handle it.
My question now becomes, is there a good site for FO examples? I've
tracked XSL for quite some time but almost exclusively on the XSLT side of
the house. Is there a corollary to Michael Kay's XSLT book for XSL-FO?
The crux of my problem is wide and deep tables. My first pass at the FO
produces a table that runs off the edge of the page! Not very useful. My
gut tells me I have to use some combination of keeps and breaks to pull
this off but I couldn't make sense of the verbiage on the w3c site on these
topics. The Apache examples don't seem to go to the depth I need. If
anyone has experience to share, I would greatly appreciate some insight,
sample code or links.
Cheers!

The greatest risk is not taking one.
