it's good to hear, that at least the static XML works. So there are not more so many possibilities. If 'test2.pdf' works (returns a PDF), something must be wrong with the other pipeline. Did you really request 'result.xml'? If you get XML with this request, there must be another matching pipeline, i.e. not the one below is used.
Can you temporarily clean up your sitemap (remove all pipelines) and add some test pipelines:
<map:match pattern="result.xml">
<map:generate type="xsp" src="xsp/result.xsp"/>
<map:serialize type="xml"/>
</map:match>This one should return the XML you already have as static file.
<map:match pattern="result_fo.xml">
<map:generate type="xsp" src="xsp/result.xsp"/>
<map:transform src = "fo/tablepic66.xsl"/>
<map:serialize type="xml"/>
</map:match>This one should return the XSL FO representation of the latter PDF.
<map:match pattern="result.pdf">
<map:generate type="xsp" src="xsp/result.xsp"/>
<map:transform src = "fo/tablepic66.xsl"/>
<map:serialize type="fo2pdf"/>
</map:match>And this one should return the PDF itself.
Try to request 'result.xml', 'result_fo.xml' and 'result.pdf' in the browser and see what you get.

Thanks for your post Joerg
My pipeline is
<map:match pattern="result.xml"> <map:generate type="xsp" src="xsp/result.xsp"/> <map:transform src = "fo/tablepic66.xsl"/> <map:serialize type="fo2pdf"/> </map:match>
The funny thing is I copied the XML from IE6 into a text file, deleteted the minus signs, set up a new pipeline as below and this works.
<map:match pattern="test2.pdf"> <map:generate src="fo/tradenew.xml"/> <map:transform src = "fo/tablepic66.xsl"/> <map:serialize type="fo2pdf"/> </map:match>

Hello Frank,

Hi
I have worked through Leigh Dodds, IBM Developer Works, excellent tutorial showing how to use cocoon to query databases. I am able to generate
the
xml data and output this in IE6. My problem starts when I try to transform this data to xsl:fo and then pdf.
My xml file contains child nodes. The xml outputted to IE6 contains minus signs, -, to allow a user to close the parent node and hide the child nodes. Could it be these minus signs that prevents the pdf file being generated?
Uh? What has the presentation in IE6 to do with the XML itself? IE only transforms the XML it gets to the HTML with the minus signs you see when
viewing XML in IE. If you see such a page without any error message from
IE, it's correct XML.
In which way did you try to get PDF? You must transform your XML into
XSL FO, which can then be serialized to PDF. How does your pipeline look
like?
I just get a blank screen. I'm using tomcat 4.1.18 and cocoon 2.
If there is an example on the web, I'd appreciate a link.
TIA
Frank
