http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=32193 NullPointerException when using non-Apache XML parser (Xerces) and/or JXTransformer Summary: NullPointerException when using non-Apache XML parser (Xerces) and/or JXTransformer Product: Fop Version: 0.20.5 Platform: Other OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: Critical Priority: Other Component: general AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] On my cite we had an XML parser created by Oracle (oracle.xml.parser.v2.SAXParser) installed in the system, so FOP was picking it up and using it before it found Xerces. Same for the JXTransformer class in oracle.xml.jaxp.JXTransformer. This created a NullPointerException in JXTransformer.reportXSLException(). My kludge solution was to modify fop.sh and to include both xercesImpl.jar and xalan.jar in -Xbootclasspath/p: (so they are searched before ANY other JARs). This eliminated the NullPointerException and everything worked perfectly. In this bugzilla form I listed this under with OS Linux, but I suspect it would produce the same effects on any other system where Xerces and Xalan aren't found first.
