If I try to launch the process directly with fop, I get another error
(which I'll worry about later on)...
My application embeeding Fop is running using JDK1.4 and I want to use the
JDK parser rather than Xerces.
I don't know if it recognizes namespaces...

How I create the parser:
  private static XMLReader createParser()
  {
    try
    {
      SAXParserFactory theFactory = SAXParserFactory.newInstance();
      SAXParser theSaxParser = theFactory.newSAXParser();
      return theSaxParser.getXMLReader();
    }
    catch (Exception e)
    {
      e.printStackTrace();
    }
    return null;
  }


Does anyone have any experience in using the JDK1.4 parser ? Is there any
special setup to do ?

Hi,


I am getting the following error when using fop v0.20.4.
It worked ok before with v0.20.2 and I removed the use of Xerces since
then.
The error message is not very helpful. What could that be ???

I am lost. Please help

my Java code :

...
      // Get the StreamSource object from the style sheet file.
      StreamSource theStyleSource = new StreamSource(thePrintStyleSheet);

      // Get Transformer for output.
      TransformerFactory theFactory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
      Transformer theTransformer =
theFactory.newTransformer(theStyleSource);


      // Get the result of the transformer from the Source object.
      ByteArrayOutputStream theFoStream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
      StreamResult theResult = new StreamResult(theFoStream);
      theTransformer.transform(theSource, theResult);

      PrinterJob thePrinterJob = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();
      // If the user has not cancel the dialog.
      if (thePrinterJob.printDialog())
      {

System.out.println("--------- TRACE--setting logger");
        //setting the log correctly
        Logger theLogger = new ConsoleLogger(ConsoleLogger.LEVEL_INFO);
        org.apache.fop.messaging.MessageHandler.setScreenLogger(theLogger);

        Driver theDriver = new Driver();
        theDriver.setLogger(theLogger);

System.out.println("--------- TRACE--setting renderer");
        FopPrintRenderer theRenderer = new FopPrintRenderer(thePrinterJob);
        theDriver.setRenderer(theRenderer);



System.out.println("--------- TRACE--creating parser");

        XMLReader theParser = createParser();

System.out.println("--------- TRACE--rendering");

        ByteArrayInputStream theByteArrayInputStream = new
ByteArrayInputStream(theFoStream.toByteArray());

        theDriver.render(theParser, new
InputSource(theByteArrayInputStream));
...


  private static XMLReader createParser()
  {
    try
    {
      SAXParserFactory theFactory = SAXParserFactory.newInstance();
      SAXParser theSaxParser = theFactory.newSAXParser();
      return theSaxParser.getXMLReader();
    }
    catch (Exception e)
    {
      e.printStackTrace();
    }
    return null;
  }

Turn on namespace recognition (see JavaDocs). It should
be turned on by default, but you never know.
