Indeed, work with standard recommendations from W3C is always a good thing, I think.

I've tried Symfony once, just for fun. It seems to be a great framework indeed. I've worked (and collaborated) to CakePHP before, but now I'm working with FLOW, which is a great framework really. I really like object injections, namespaces etc.. In addiction, FLOW is using (and adding the use of) all new sweet PHP releases stuffs.

I've noticed that you've coded SOAP and Console approaches to communicate to Apache FOP. A third way could be JavaBridge (they say it's 50 faster then SOAP - SOAP itself is very slow). I've tried a little, but only got results to .rptdesign file type, not for FO.

Finally, I'm interested on helping to improve the code. But my priority is to code it for FLOW, maybe a stand alone code could fit all frameworks as a Vendor / Lib / API package. What to you think?

P.s.: This conversation has nothing more to do with the issue. But I don't know other place in github. At least, it is public :)

I totally agree on that! we should try to make it independent. the only dependencies it has is Doctrine, since XMLDriver XML hydrator relies on Doctrine, and makes it easy to make queries that return XML results out of Doctrine queries. but one can create his/her data XML differently of course.

I like the idea behind symfony2 Components, that you through on vendor and you are good to go. But I didn't take the time to see how much effort will it take yet. Still as I make the classes in lib. I think it wont be hard.
