Hi all,
This is an extract from the Reportlab FAQ on ReportLab support for Java =
( http://www.reportlab.com/devfaq.html#1.10 )
>>>At the moment, the only way to work with ReportLab toolkit using Java =
is to use Java implementation of python called Jython (www.jython.org). =
Currently we are in the testing phase and it seems that most of =
ReportLab toolkit features do work under Jython. However, things that =
need OS specific features, like os.chdir() will not work, because =
they're not supported by Java. This is especially true for the set of =
test suites.
ReportLab toolkit has been tested under Sun's J2SDK 1.3.1. It is known =
that under J2SDK 1.4.0_01 test_pdfbase_ttfonts.py fails horribly with an =
outOfMemory exception, probably caused by a JVM bug. For information on =
how to install ReportLab toolkit to work with Jython, see the user =
guide.<<<
Best Regards,
Dragan Andric
