Make sure you don't have multiple xalan.jars in your environment. In JDKs 1.4 or later no XML parser nor XSLT implementation should show up in WEB-INF/lib directories or in normal lib directories. Rule of thumb: The implementation JARs for XML parsers (ex. Xerces) and XSLT implementations (ex.

Hehe, it looks simple to you, but it isn't for a layout engine. Of course, you can do stuff like counting rows and other ugly stuff like that but I can't help you here. It depends a lot on your input data and the requirements. The only thing you can look at for further ideas is the area tree XML

As far as I know, zero-width spaces are widely used with 0.20.5. The next FOP release will also support zero-width spaces (0.91beta doesn't). That said, I think you should have a look at the XSL-FO files you generate from your properties files. You can then backtrack from there to find out why

Hmm, you asked for ideas. Not sure if they help: - JBoss seems to have a lib/endorsed directory. It may be worthwhile to experiment a little there: remove, change - Try replacing Xalan-J with SAXON if only to determine if there's something else playing into this. Good luck! On 21.03.2006

You could use XSLT to do it. I don't have any examples, though. If your input is XML, I'd push the concatenation back a level and do it when you create the FO. Jay Bryant Bryant Communication Services - Original Message - From: Cam T To: FOP-Users Sent: Tuesday, March
