APEX

Hi All,

 Is Apache FOP "fop.war" missing from the Oracle APEX installable for APEX 5.0 (apex\_5.0.zip) and APEX 5.0.1 (apex\_5.0.1.zip)?

 As after extracting APEX 5.0/5.0.1 there is no "fop" folder or "fop.war" under /path/to/apex/utilities.

 But after extracting APEX 4.2.6 (apex\_4.2.6.zip) there is "fop.war" at /path/to/apex/utilities/fop/fop.war

 The Oracle APEX "Configuring Report Printing" documentation for APEX 5.0 (in Oracle Application Express Administration Guide) lists "External (Apache FOP)" as "Print Server" option.

 Refer : [http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E59726_01/doc.50/e39151/adm_wrkspc002.htm#BABIECEE](http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E59726_01/doc.50/e39151/adm_wrkspc002.htm#BABIECEE "http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E59726_01/doc.50/e39151/adm_wrkspc002.htm#BABIECEE")

 Also the Instance Administration Settings for APEX 5.0 show "External (Apache FOP)" as an option:

 Hence, the question: Is Apache FOP supported Print Server option for APEX 5.0? If yes, why it is not included in the APEX installable for APEX 5.0 and APEX 5.0.1.

 The second question is : The point 6 in "[Configuring Report Printing in a Full Development Environment](http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E59726_01/doc.50/e39151/adm_wrkspc002.htm#BABIECEE)" for APEX 5.0 depicts "/xmlpserver/convert" as "Print Server Script" for both Apache FOP and BI Publisher. Though this is correct in case of BI Publisher, for Apache FOP it should be "/fop/apex\_fop.jsp" according to: [PDF Printing in Application Express 3.1 and above](http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/apex/application-express/configure-printing-093060.html#05 "http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/apex/application-express/configure-printing-093060.html#05").
