Example: Using XSLReportProcessor with PCLContext

Note: Read the Code example disclaimer for important legal information.

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
//
// The following example (PCLRunReport) uses the XSLPReportProcessor and the 
// PCLContext classes to obtain XML data and convert the data to the PCL format.
// The data is then streamed to a printer OutputQueue.
//
// To view the contents of example XML and XSL source files that you can use
// with PCLRunReport, see realestate.xml and realestate.xsl. You can also
// download a zip file that contains the XML and XSL example files. The zip
// file also contains a JSP example file that you can use with the
// JSPReportProcessor example (JSPRunReport).
// 
// Command syntax:
//     java PCLRunReport <xml_file> <xsl_file>
//
