1. Improvement, not a problem here: use $* instead of $1 $2 $3 etc.
2. Check that you don't have a linebreak after "java -cp". If you're 
working
   with Suse Linux, chances are you're editing the shellscript with the 
pico editor.
   This one has the annoying behaviour of breaking long lines as soon as 
you edit them...

It is hard to guess your problem from such a sparse description.
Some possibilities:
- Are you using IEx as a client? Do you use a URL ending
   in .pdf to access the PDF?
- Have you used a command line client like wget to retrieve
   the PDF? Do you get an error? Do you get an empty
   or corrupted PDF?
- is there anything interesting in the logs of the EJB container?
- Have you tried the servlet example distributed with FOP?
   Do you have prolems there alos?

The error messages indicates there is an empty parameter
or a parameter consisting of whitespace only passed to
the FOP main().
There could be any number of reasonst for it, including JVM
bugs. The most probably reason is that you prepared the
shell script on a Windows system, and it is still in DOS
format. This causes a CR passed as a parameter. Load
the file in a hex editor and check whether it contains
0x0D bytes, and run dos2unix or a similar program in this
case.

hi there,

we are having a problem using FOP on a suse shell system.
first of all we wrote a batchfile containinng the following:

java -cp
./build/fop.jar:./lib/batik.jar:./lib/xalan-2.0.0.jar:./lib/xerces-1.2.3.jar:./lib/avalon-framework-4.0.jar:./lib/logkit-1.0.jar:./lib/jimi-1.0.jar
 org.apache.fop.apps.Fop $1 $2 $3 $4 $5 $6 $7 $8

when calling this batchfile e.g. with files in the same directory like:

fop.sh border.fo -pdf myfirst.pdf

we get an error message saying:
[ERROR] don't know what to do with

can anyone help? are the spacers not correct in linux? whate else can we
use? please ...

In pdf it must specify a font otherwise it is an error. I presume you
mean in FOP. If there is no font specified in the fo then it will
default to "sans-serif" which is aka "Helvetica".

You easily do it in fop0.20.4. Or uncomment and define baseDir entry in
userconfig.xml file or set baseDir dynamically from java code by something like
Configuration.put("baseDir", "file:///" + imageDir);

the hole area where the programs fill the data. The data will be got
from
the database and the client program supplies the server with the data
and
the sever program takes the data and for every write call the client
program
says, the server creates a new "fo:block" element and places the data
supplied in the hash portion. The client proceeds in this fashion. 
   The client program may supply large amount of records, can be
around 15,000 records also. So, it is not advisable to make the user
wait
till all the data is supplied and the entire FO constructed. There is an
assumption made now, say we can show 40 records per page. The client
supplies 40 records to the sever, which renders the page using FOP API.
But,
the problem comes if the data supplied will not fit in the single line.
If

and
the remnant portion of the data ( a small chunk, could be one or two

the templates. So, I'm trying to find a solution where in which at any

of time client should be able to know that
 "Still how many lines of display remain?". With that
the
client can hold until the server gives it a ready signal again.

I hope I'm clear now... I'm not finding how to solve the above

What i wanted was a dash, but for some reasons i choosed the character

Now i use a the character reference  for dash , and i works fine with my
