But did you realize the servlet is already built in its own Ant target or do I miss your point? > >>- Should we really test for invalid XML (see /test/errors)? > > > > In one way or another we should test how FOP reacts to invalid input. > > Well I meant "invalid XML" in the sense that the parser wont parse > it (testfile invalid.xml").

Doesn't really involve a lot of code then (only the command-line), since the FOP API now only handles the passive SAX approach where everything is already parsed.

Yeah. *rbg* Damn good question, one I keep pushing on before me. Jeremias Maerki
