Found the problem. Seems I was creating a blank line at the top of the xml stream with velocity. Once this blank line was removed, stream goes through.
Thanks! -----Original Message----- Looking for help posting xml (created with velocity) to cocoon to create a pdf. I successfully create the pdf with the file-generator (xml file saved to disk), but having difficulty with the stream-generator. I've attached my code for review (sorry for length).
