That's not how XSLT is supposed to work.

2010-12-07 Thread Eric Douglas 
If you can write your own code you could do the 2 step transformation to avoid 
the issue without writing the FO file to disk.
FOP allows you to receive the results as streaming bytes which you can send 
right back in as an FO SAXSource.

Hi Chris,

I think that's the important point. I'll rewrite my transformation tomorrow and 
have a look. Thanks a lot. Oh, and 20 points for the plausible explanation.

Ah... I've got it now.

This is why use of disable-output-escaping is so strongly discouraged...

When you use XSLT to transform your XML and serialize it to disk, the d-o-e is 
applied and you get a valid FO.

However, when you feed XML and XSLT to FOP, your transformation result is never 
serialized.  The d-o-e directive is never applied, and a poorly-formed XML data 
structure is passed to FOP, resulting in your error.

You will need to rewrite your transformation to avoid use of d-o-e.  It is an 
unfortunate hack that really shouldn't have been included in XSLT; it is never 
necessary, and while it enables some quick hacks that would be more complicated 
otherwise, it also is prone to mysterious breakage like your case.

Hi Eric,

Oh yes.

I'm not quite sure WHO exactly complains. The original xslt (with <) works 
fine if I use it to transform the xml file. It generates a fo-file which I can 
then transform into a pdf. The corrected xslt works fine, if I don't use more 
complex transformations. It stops working when I use variables.

> 2) I'm not sure what you mean by "valid xml".  Your xml file is a valid xml.

My xslt should not contain valid fo, it should create valid fo. If I fix the 
tags, it's (IMHO) no longer a valid xslt-file.

> 3) Converting < to < wouldn't make it work any better as anything else 
> since you didn't convert > to >

Converting < to < would make it a valid xslt-file, IMHO, since the fo-tags 
are no longer found. The transformation originally worked fine with fop 0.20, 
so it is possible that something changed, but that would still not explain why 
I can transform xml+xslt->fo and fo->pdf, but not xml+xslt->pdf directly.

I think you're a bit confused.
1) FOP doesn't complain about anything.  My response included the corrected 
xslt along with a PDF I got from FOP with it.
2) I'm not sure what you mean by "valid xml".  Your xml file is a valid xml.  
Your xslt file is not xslt if it contains any fo.  If you fix the tags it's 
valid xslfo.
3) Converting < to < wouldn't make it work any better as anything else since 
you didn't convert > to >

Xslt: http://www.w3schools.com/xsl/default.asp
Xslfo: http://www.w3schools.com/xslfo/default.asp

Xslt was designed to format xml data for a web page.  Xslfo expands on xslt to 
add the pageable tags required for a PDF which a web page wouldn't understand.

Document is empty (something might be wrong with your XSLT stylesheet).

* When combining ExampleXML2FO and ExampleXML2PDF and using two transformations 
(XML->FO, FO->Area tree), I get a correct Area tree.
* When combining ExampleXML2FO and ExampleXML2PDF and using two transformations 
(XML->FO, FO->PDF), I get a pdf, which should have one PageSequence with one 
page, according to fop.getResults(). I can't open the PDF in Acrobat (pdf 
corrupt and can't be repaired)

That's it. No error messages, no hints. Area tree works, generating a pdf does 
not. Generating a fo and then a pdf works in XmlSpy. Does anybody see any 
reasoning behind that?
