Hi David,
I had the same problem. This problem occurs only if the template name given in the fo for the fo:root does not match any of the tags in the xml input given. In the sample given below, the fo:root is within the xsl:template matching the name "TestPage". So the xml input given should have the tag <TestPage>. Otherwise you get the exception mentioned in your mail.
<xsl:template match ="TestPage">
<fo:root xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format">
<!-- defines page layout -->
..........................
..........................
</fo:root>
</xsl:template>
I got the same error till I figured it out. :-) Hope this helps..
Regards,
Roopa

It's not a problem with the servlet. The transformation has
failed, it seems to have output an empty result. This could be
because of a problem with the XSLT, a configuration problem
(maybe namespace support has to be enabled), or you have hit one
of the bugs in the Oracle XSLT processor. The Oracle environment
has a lot of oddities, probably because of it's extreme
optimisation for speed. I'd not be surprised if you missed
some exceptions. Ask Oracle for assistance in order to get
the transformation running.
