fop support in cocoon1 fixed?
Hello folks,
what is the status of fop support in cocoon1? It appears that it broke
starting with fop0.14.0 and the fop folks are going to release major new
versions soon. According to the fop developers it would just be a small
fix to cocoon1, something to do with SAX-1 vs. SAX-2.

Well, this is a problem that I can at least solve - by throwing hardware
at it ;-)

I just need an "official" statement. I'd like to migrate to C2 right
now, but without a pressing issue (like fop support) I won't get the
time :)

I have exactly the same problem that you have. FOP is essential to the
project of my company. But I don't think going on with C1 is a good
solution. As soon as you want to generate "large" pdf output, C1
gets performance problems, especially if you combine it (as I do) with
XSLT.
That is why we decided to test C2 in terms of stability,usability and
"migration". As I am in the middle of getting into C2, I cannot yet tell
you if its still too early or not. But I don't think that the problems
"performance" and "fop support" can be easily fixed in C1.

C2 is not even in Beta yet, so "cocoon" currently is defined as C1,
right? Does this mean that cocoon officially will not support newer
versions of fop anymore?
If that is the case it would be nice to have an official announcement of
some sort, so I can take that to my employer and tell him we need to
migrate to C2 right now, if we want to make use of the new fop features.
Migration is a big issue for us, we have much C1 stuff to port and I'd
rather migrate, when C2 is ready. On the other hand fop support is
mission-critical here :)
cheers,
Ulrich

I tried to fix that myself in my Cocoon1.8 distribution.
I got it working (Cocoon1.6+fop0.14) only, if there is
not XSLT transformation in the processing chain. This
could easily be acchieved by patching both Cocoon AND FOP 0.14
just a little bit.
I think that the real problem is inside the Xalan version
that comes with Cocoon. Xalan uses DOM Level 1 (no namespaces)
and fop0.14 relies on the dom nodes created with DOM Level2.
This means that I do not see how to get XSLT+FOP working
with Cocoon1.8 and FOP 0.14.
We need C2 for that.
