CAN YOU DO THIS WITH QXPSM? IF SO, HOW?Example, object
model
Request object names: XMLImportRequest
com.quark.qxpsm.QRequestContext rc = new com.quark.qxpsm.QRequestContext();
if(!this.DocumentSettings1.
documentName.Text.Equals(""))
rc.documentName =
this.DocumentSettings1.documentName.Text;
// STEP 2 (SPECIFIC TO REQUESTS): Create the XML Import request
XMLImportRequest xmlimportreq = new XMLImportRequest();
xmlimportreq.XMLDocument = this.thexmldoc.Text;
rc.request = xmlimportreq;
// STEP 3(SPECIFIC TO REQUESTS): Create the JPEG renderer request
JPEGRenderRequest jpreq = new JPEGRenderRequest();
xmlimportreq.request = jpreq;
// Create the service and call it with QRequestContext object
RequestService svc = new RequestService();
com.quark.qxpsm.QContentData qc = svc.processRequest(rc);
