thanks for the prompt help Mehmood, but the same problem still persists.
I did make slight changes to the code you sent me though (kept the
ByteArrayOutputStream as is but changed the StringReader to a FileReader
just for simplicity) before running it.
Do you get the error when running the Java code with the XML and XSL I have
pasted in the mail ? Just to make sure my classpath is not messed up with
the wrong jars :-)
Anil.
PS: I just noticed after sending the prev mail that the
driver.setRenderer(driver.RENDER_TEXT) should be
driver.setRenderer(driver.RENDER_PDF)
But the problem remains even with that change.

Subject: RE: Using Xalan Transformer with FOP Driver problem
Try this.
// -------
// 1. Get a Source for XML document
// -------
// a) from string
Source strSource = new StreamSource(new StringReader(xmlData));
// -------
// 2. Get stylesheet transformer
// -------
// from file, see above examples for other types of XSL input
//TransformerFactory
TransformerFactory transformerFactory = TransformerFactory.newInstance ();
Templates template = transformerFactory.newTemplates( new StreamSource(
xslLayout ));
// note - template object is multi-threaded and should be cached if you
// plan to use the same XSL repeatedly
Transformer transformer = template.newTransformer();
// -------
// 3. Create FOP driver and set rendering mode and output stream
// -------
Driver driver = new Driver();
driver.setRenderer(driver.RENDER_PDF);
ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream ();
driver.setOutputStream( baos);
// initialize logger - see sample code on FOP website
driver.setLogger(setLogger());
// -------
// 4. Create SAXResult based on FOP Driver content handler
// which will accept SAX events and build FOP tree
// -------
Result saxResult = new SAXResult( driver.getContentHandler() );
// 5. Use the Transformer to transform an XML Source and
// send the output to a Result object. Implicitely it will
// create the FOP tree by firing SAX events.
transformer.transform( strSource, saxResult );
// 6. Your user is already viewing the PDF!
response.getOutputStream().flush();
response.getOutputStream().close();
