Hi, I have tried switching from using Xalan to using XSLTC translets (assuming it would boost performance) but I am having serious trouble invoking FOP with the output I get from XSLTC. I obtain a DOM (org.w3c.dom.Document) from the XSLTC translet and want to invoke the buildFOTree(org.w3c.Document) method of org.apache.fop.apps.Driver. However, I get a null pointer exception I didn't get with Xalan. Surprisingly, if I output the DOM to a file and then invoke FOP from the commandline, it works! I have a strong suspicion it has something to do with how namespaces are dealt with in the DOM I get from XSLTC. Has anyone been experimenting with this? I would greatly appreciate your help. Thank you very much, Helena. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
