We estimate the kinematic dependence of the exclusive photo-- and
electroproduction of JPC=1β+ exotic mesons due to Ο exchange. We
show that the kinematic dependence is largely independent of the exotic meson
form factor, which is explicitly derived for a 1β+ isovector hybrid meson
in the flux-tube model of Isgur and Paton. The relevance to experiments
currently planned at Jefferson Lab is indicated.Comment: 15 pages, latex, epsf, 8 postscript figure
