I ran into the same problem; I solved it in the current code by adding a static method that clears the cache. I call this method before I run fop. Unfortunately, the caching code in the stable assumes that you are only calling fop once (e.g. from the command line) or, at least, that external files aren't changing. This is also a big memory leak - if you have a lot of large (in my experience, 1024x map pngs) snapshots, and use different urls for each run, then each is loaded into heap and the whole thing gets enormous. -- Paul Reavis [EMAIL PROTECTED] Design Lead Partner Software, Inc. http://www.partnersoft.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
