Re: FOP Issues [Solved]

It's choking on the log4j.  If you change the root logger in framework/base/config/log4j.xml from ALL to INFO, back to normal.

So much has changed between trunk and R4 that it would be a very time
 consuming task to go through a 
list of changed files to see which one caused the problem. That's why I
 suggested a profiler - it 
would spot the culprit right away.

  That was the most draining exercise I've gone through with OFbiz in I
 don't know how long.  Are there really that many files where the
 culprit could be?

Re: FOP Issues [Solved]

You can also change settings for specific class packages so that the  
logging level is not as verbose just for the fop classes.

There are some examples of this in the current log4j config file. If  
it's not obvious after looking for a few minutes please reply and I'll  
throw together an example or something.

Re: FOP Issues [Solved]

You're right - thanks Chris!

Let me see if there's a way to point FOP to a different config file so we don't have to change the 
project's config file.
