1. do you actually understand what the problem is because I don't? The test file (test/xml/bugtests/block.fo) is trivial. It works from the fop command line, it works with the SAX test, its only when using the identity transformation to convert it into a DOM source that the error happens. 2. While I agree that fop as such should work with any JAXP compliant parser I don't have a problem if building/verifying fop requires a particular parser / transformer version. However, IMHO it would be desirable that fop builds / verifies out-of-the-box without the need to upgrade components delivered with it. It seems to me that we could achieve that by upgrading xerces/xalan in SVN. I do believe that the current xerces/xalan versions are still compatible with JDK 1.3 which is the oldest JDK version fop attempts to support. If there are arguments against upgrading xerces/xalan than we should do what you have done and disable the tests that fail in SVN so that fop builds/verifies correctly. Cheers, Manuel
