I have a newbie question concerning the XSL parsing in FOP. I think I have
everything set up correctly because all the test work fine. However, I have
a
series of really simple xsl files that parse with other tools. But, the FOP
application (more precisely xalan) can't seem to parse anything?!? I'm not
sure what I'm doing wrong. I'm running the command "fop -xml hello.xml -xsl
hello.xsl -pdf hello.pdf" and get a Unknown formatting object error:
[INFO]: FOP 0.20.3
[INFO]: building formatting object tree
[ERROR]: Unknown formatting object ^html

I don't see why as the xslt file is dead simple:
hello.xsl:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<html xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
xsl:version="1.0">
<head><title>Greeting</title></head>
<body><p>Words of greeting:<br/>
<b><i><u><xsl:value-of select="greeting"/></u></i></b>
</p></body>
</html>
The xml file is even simpler:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="hello.xsl"?>
<greeting>Hello world.</greeting>
What am I doing wrong? Is there some special xslt standard that I don't
know about. Even if someone could provide me with some references and
links concerning xslt sample for FOP that would be great. The current
doc is somewhat lacking in this area.
I took a look at http://www.owal.co.uk:8090/asf/servlet/asf/ and there seems
to be nothing there. So I apologize if this is a newbie question.
Thanks,
Shawn
