Hello all,
Sorry to start my first post off with a question but here goes:
java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.apache.fop.apps.Fop.<init>(I)V
is the exception I recieve when I try and run FOP within my WebApp
running on JBoss. Specifically it happens on this line of code:
Fop fop = new Fop(Fop.RENDER_PDF);
I have rtfm'ed and googled for this and the closest postings I can see
point to a classpath issue. I have made sure to replace the libraries
in my WebApp's lib directory with the three jars listed below, the
commons logging, commons io, avalon framework and the fop.jar I built.
And yes, I made sure to remove the old versions of these libraries.
I am using FOP straight out of CVS from yesterday (09/28/2004). I
have built a stand alone java app and called the same render method I
have listed below and it works.
The only differences between the method below and the problematic one
in my code is
the System.out's translate to logger.info and the method is not
static. Other than that it's the same code.
Any insight would be appreciated.
Thanks!
