Re: [xep-support] Using XEP with Java

Hello, Perttu.

Your apporach will work, but it's pretty much ineffective. For each xml+xsl
you fire off a new shell, which starts a new JVM, which in its turn
instantiates XEP classes.

XEP API allows to work with XEP classes directly from your Java program. XEP
classes are thread-safe and reusable: you can render multiple input
documents with one and the same instance of FormatterImpl. And this is
really much faster.

RenderX provides "Intergation & Connectivity Kit" : Guides, APIs, Connectors
and sample code to plug XEP into wide range of personal and server-side
applications (http://www.renderx.net/Content/tools/devkit.html). Please
contact sales@renderx.com for more information on the Kit and licensing.
