FOP goes SAX2 and sticky CVS permissions

[COFFMAN Steven <SC...@CBSINC.com>]

Hi,
	The CVS version of FOP is now SAX2, as will be the upcoming FOP 0.14
release, causing it to fail to work with Cocoon properly. I glanced around,
but didn't see who was maintaining the FO2PDFFormatter (or it's
replacement), so this is just a FYI that the change is coming soon.

	The other thing is a CVS question. We've got quite a few scripts
(build.sh, etc.) that have permissions set to be non-executable when checked
out on *nix. Some are executable however. Removing the file from CVS and
adding it back with proper permissions doesn't work. What's the solution?
Fop-Dev is befuzzled. Anyway... just throught I'd pop in.

If Fop works correctly as a standalone product, I would guess (and not
knowing Cocoon 
good enough that's all I can do) the problem is to be found either with the
liaison 
between Fop and Cocoon or with your Cocoon installation. Your description of
the error 
sounds a bell: I saw something similar which had its cause in an older
Xerces version. 
Another point to check: Because of the switch to SAX 2 we have updated our
driver 
class and changed the way how it is called by the application, probably
Cocoon uses its 
own older version, which has to be updated.

It is a "feature" of CVS. You have to goto the repository
system and physically change file permisiions on rcs file. A
real PITA :<
