Hi all; I've got a java module that's supposed to create pdf files from data sources and templates I feed it. I've checked the .class file inline creates and it says the java is compiling just fine "process complete!" Except..there's no pdf file. This is running on a linux server

here's the first part of my code:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w 
use strict;
use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser);
BEGIN {
  
   $ENV{CLASSPATH}='.:/usr/share/java/*:/the paths to the jars used/;


}

use Inline Java => <<'END',,CLASSPATH=> $ENV{CLASSPATH}; ;

import java.datasource.dom4j.Dom4jDataSource;
import java.xmlreport.ProcessPdf;
import java.xmlreport.ProcessReport;

import java.io.InputStream;
import java.io.OutputStream;
import org.dom4j.Element;

      public class GeneratePdfReport {

InputStream template = new FileInputStream("/path/template.docx");
OuputStream report = new FileOutputStream("/path/report.pdf");
InputStream xmlData = new FileInputStream("/path/datasource.xml");
 

 public static void generatePdfReport(InputStream template, OutputStre
+am report, InputStream xmlData) throws Exception {

  ProcessReport.init();

  // create the report.

  ProcessPdf proc = new ProcessPdf(template, report);
proc.processSetup();
proc.processData(new Dom4jDataSource(xmlData), "");
proc.processComplete();
}
}

END

my question is: what is the perl I need to write to execute the java and create the pdf?

thank you for your wisdom
