FOP hangs at Driver driver = new Driver(); line

[Manfred Reuter]

Hi,   I'm using FOP (creating adhoc pdf reports) that is called from a servlet on a JRUN 3.1 machine (JDK 1.4.1) and have trouble to initialize the "Driver" class. Actually it seems as it would hang at this point ... no exception, no error message ... I tried already adding if (cl == null){     cl = ClassLoader.getSystemClassLoader(); } to Service.provider() method in org.java.fop.apps.Driver.java to rule out a class loader issue. I found the code somewhere in the archive of this email list, but I found out the program doesn't reach this particular code at all.   Any help is highly appreciated.   Thanks and regards, Manfred
