In the directory "DynamicPDF_ForJava10~/ceTeSoftware/examples/Generator/servlets" we have provided examples to show how DynamicPDF Generator for Java can be used in Servlets.
Since loading of a servlet is a Servlet Engine or Java Application Server dependent process, we are providing you with a general installation procedure. Please check your Servlet Engine or Java Application Server manual if you need help in loading Servlets.
Compile the HelloWorld.java file located under "DynamicPDF_ForJava10~/ceTeSoftware/examples/Generator/servlets" and place the HelloWorld.class file under the working directory of your Servlet Engine or Java Application Server. Please make respective changes into your web.xml to handle the servlet mapping. Calling this Servlet from a web browser will cause "HelloWorld.pdf" to be downloaded on the client machine.
Similarly you can run other servlet java files to see their respective output. Brief descriptions of the examples are given below.
Note: For examples which require a database connection to work, you will need to update the "conn.properties" file under the folder "properties". Also, some of the servlets require static resources which have been provided in the folders "data", "images", "text" located under the folder "DynamicPDF_ForJava10~/ceTeSoftware/examples/Generator/"; these folders need to be copied to your web application folder.
