I already posted in the user group, but they only wonder about my  
error and can't help. So I think that it is a bug.

I use Apache FOP 0.95beta but the same error also occured in 0.94  
stable version: When trying to make a new instance of the fop  
factory with "FopFactory fopFactory = FopFactory.newInstance();" I  
get an exception with the following stack trace:


java.lang.ClassCastException:  
org.apache.fop.render.afp.extensions.AFPExtensionHandlerFactory
cannot be cast to org.apache.fop.util.ContentHandlerFactory
<snip />

FWIW, and for all interested parties: Andreas confirmed to me off- 
list that using only one FopFactory seems to work. So far, he hasn't  
taken that back, so I'm assuming no news is good news. ;-)

This shows that using only one factory is not merely a matter of  
'best practice', it avoids ugly exceptions like the one above.

Of course, Big thanks to Jörg for supplying us with the vital piece  
of info!


Cheers
