Different result on Win2K and win98!!!

[em...@eurodb.be]

Hi,

I designed an xsl-fo at work with win2k. It works nice and smooth, the
result is exactly what I want.
I wanted to do some work at home (on a win 98 PC) and the result is
different.

My xml file is someting like this:

<school name = "Don Bosco">
  <class>
     <class_name>Math</class_name>
     <group>Science</group>
     <teacher rank = "level3">John Smith</teacher>
     ...
   </class>
   <class>
  ...

the xsl process gives table for each group with all the teacher, and tables
for each teacher with all the groups he is in. I need to use a for-each
with a key to have the list with having multiple row with the same values:

<xsl:for-each select="key('teacher-group', teacher)[not(concat(teacher,
group)=concat(preceding::teacher, preceding::group))]">

With win2k, I have the tables as I want to. In win98, I have the groups as
many times as there are teachers in the group.

I use FOP this way:

c:\jdk1.3.1\bin\java -cp e:\Fop-0.19.0-CVS\fop.jar org.apache.fop.apps.Fop
-xsl e:\testxml\school.xsl -xml e:\testxml\school.xml -pdf e:
\testxml\school.pdf

any idea what's wrong? The rendering is good but it seems that the xsl
processing sucks with FOP and win98. I have the same version of java (SUN
jdk 1.3.1), the same version of Xalan (j2.2.D6). I even upgradded the msxml
on my win98 (useless but how knows...). I checked my path and classpath.
I'm lost and the FOP FAQ is not yet available to me... ;o)

Hi Emmanuel,

As you say, the problem seems to be in processing the XSL. That isn't
really done by FOP, except by calling Xalan (or some other kind of Trax
compliant transformer.) 
Sounds like one of two things: obscure classpath problem or problem with
the Sun JDK 1.3.1 itself on Win98. Do you have any jars in the "ext"
directory (c:\jdk1.3.1\lib\ext)? What is your CLASSPATH environment
variable set to? If all else fails, you might try generating the FO file
separately (maybe with MSXML for example if that works) and then just
using FOP directly on the FO file.

HTH,
Karen
