Problem generating pdf

[Clive Hackney <cl...@accidentgroup.com>]

Hi 

I posted this first to the users group, but go no response, was hoping to
get some help!!

I am trying to generate pdf file using fo , the problem I am having is that
the request parameter are getting nulled. The page I am using is below, I
have placed some System.outs to try to find out what is going on. Below is
the code for the xml page I am trying to translate.

<xsp:page
   language="java"
   xmlns:xsp="http://apache.org/xsp"
   xmlns:xsp-request="http://apache.org/xsp/request/2.0"
>
<page>
	<xsp:logic>
		int i = 0; 
	//	String msg = request.getParameter("paraText");
		System.out.println("Starting .... ");
		System.out.println("paratext = " +
request.getParameter("paraText"));
		System.out.println("inputtext = " +
request.getParameter("inputText"));
		System.out.println("fredtext = " +
request.getParameter("fred"));
		i++;
		System.out.println("i = " + i);
	</xsp:logic>

	<title>THIS is the end my friend</title>

	<para><xsp-request:get-parameter name="paraText"
default="bugger"/></para>
	<para><xsp-request:get-parameter name="inputText" default="fred"
/></para>
	<para><xsp-request:get-parameter name="fred" default="no fred"
/></para>
	<xsp:logic>
		System.out.println("Finished");
	</xsp:logic>
</page>
</xsp:page>

The pipeline I placed in the sitemap ( I am using the examples one!)
	<map:match pattern="endpage">
		<map:generate type="serverpages"
src="clives/docs/endpage.xml" />
		<map:transform src="clives/stylesheets/simple-page2fo.xsl" >
				<map:parameter name="use-request-parameters"
value="true"/>
      	</map:transform>
		<map:serialize type="fo2pdf"/>
	</map:match>

Now if I run this I get the following output in the tomcat window from the
system outs.
Starting ....
paratext = this text is from a textbox
inputtext = I inputed this text
fredtext = null
i = 1
Finished
Starting ....
paratext = null
inputtext = null
fredtext = null
i = 1
Finished
Starting ....
paratext = null
inputtext = null
fredtext = null
i = 1
Finished

It appears to run the translation 3 times, It ALWAYS does this, so the page
actually sent to the browser is the 3rd one with blank parameters.

However when I use a html translation instead, it works fine. i.e. I use the
following sitemap.

	<map:match pattern="endpage">
		<map:generate type="serverpages"
src="clives/docs/endpage.xml" />
		<map:transform src="clives/stylesheets/simple-page2html.xsl"
>
				<map:parameter name="use-request-parameters"
value="true"/>
      	</map:transform>
		<map:serialize type="html"/>
	</map:match>
 I get the following output in tomcat
Starting ....
paratext = this text is from a textbox
inputtext = I inputed this text
fredtext = null
i = 1
Finished

Is this a Bug, or am I missing something in the configuration. A response
would be appreciated, even an I don't know. 

Cheers 
Clive
