Jeremias, Thanks for the clarification on what the classes are looking for.

In addition to fop.jar, I'm including the following: xmlgraphics-commons-1.2.1.jar commons-loggin-1.0.4.jar avalon-framework-4.2.0.jar batik-all-1.7.jar commons-io-1.2.1.jar serializer-2.7.0.jar xalan-2.7.0.jar xerceslmpl-2.7.1.jar xml-apis-1.3.04.jar xml-apis-ext-1.2.04.jar Am I missing something?

The properties are not really read from the file system. We're using the "Service Provider Mechanism" of the JAR specification to look up plug-ins in the classpath. The files being loaded are found in the META-INF/services directory of the various JAR files. I assume that the Lotus Domino has a somewhat special way of providing the class loaders. As a result the Service class in xmlgraphics-commons.jar doesn't see the SPI files with the class names for the renderers in fop.jar. Since I don't know Lotus Domino, I don't know how to help. The general advice is to make sure that the various JARs needed by FOP end up in the same class loader. Not sure how you can apply that to Lotus Domino. > Is this even possible > using the approach Tobias describes? Tobias used a work-around by registering the various plug-ins manually. But there are so many plug-ins at different points in FOP so I don't think that approach is really practical. I would suggest to ask Lotus Domino support for help with the information above. Or maybe we have a Lotus Domino expert here who has some ideas. Good luck!
