Hello,
this is my first post. I'd like to thank you for Oracle APEX. This is a great tool
I need to connect my Oracle APEX with External Print Server. On our customer side there is configured and well prepared print server Apache FOP. I need to configure my APEX application to work with it.
I gonna use APEX 5.0 and APEX 5.1. There is ORDS as well, but I cannot use FOP from ORDS I need to configure External Server.
There I found issue. How I have to configure my Apex's Instance Settings to use Apache FOP.
I know, in APEX 4.2 there was FOP in utilities, and it could work well. However, I use apex 5.0, there is no FOP in apex/utilities/fop.
According to documentation I built and installed my own Apache FOP and I need to connect APEX with it.
I deployed my fop.war in Apache Tomcat and FOP is available on URL: http://10.9.9.105:7070/fop/ It works well, I can print documents ex. to pdf., so Apache FOP (I suppose) is correctly installed.
For example http://10.9.9.105:7070/fop/fop?fo=/root/fop-2.1/examples/fo/basic/readme.fo works correctly.
Please let me know, how to configure External Print Server (APACHE FOP) in Apex's Instance settings.
Thanks in advance!
