Error when piping XSL-FO to FOP driver using SAXResult

[Om Narayan <om...@hotmail.com>]

I am basically using the ExampleXML2PDF code to test my xsl file. I get an
error message saying only "table-row" are allowed inside table-body. The xsl
is generating table-row tags which I verified by dumping the output to a
file. Also, if I saved the generated xsl-fo file into a temporary file, and
then run the fop by reading the temporary file, it generates the correct
output. So I am assuiming that the act of piping the xsl-fo output through
the SAXResult is somehow affecting the interpretation of the generated code
(the ContentHandler is getting confused becuase of the CDATA code that the
xsl generates). I would appreciate it if somebody can suggest a solution.

Basically , what I am trying to do here is take the following xml and layout
the data into 3 column tabular layout. Alternate methods of doing this will
be appreciated as well.

<customers>
   <customer>
       <firstname>xxx</firstname>
       <lastname>yyy</lastname>
  </customer>

  ... <customer> repeats ....

</customers>

Snippet from ExampleXML2PDF.java
===========================
//Resulting SAX events (the generated FO) must be piped through to FOP
Result res = new SAXResult(driver.getContentHandler());

//Start XSLT transformation and FOP processing
transformer.transform(src, res);


Here is a snippet of the code from the XSL
===============================

<fo:table-body>
   <xsl:text
disable-output-escaping="yes"><![CDATA[<fo:table-row>]]></xsl:text>
      <xsl:for-each select="customerPF">
         <xsl:if test="position()!=1">
            <xsl:if test="(position()-1) mod 3 = 0">
               <xsl:text
disable-output-escaping="yes"><![CDATA[</fo:table-row>]]></xsl:text>
               <xsl:text
disable-output-escaping="yes"><![CDATA[<fo:table-row>]]></xsl:text>
           </xsl:if>
      </xsl:if>
      <fo:table-cell><fo:block><xsl:value-of
select="position()"/></fo:block></fo:table-cell>
     </xsl:for-each>
  <xsl:text
disable-output-escaping="yes"><![CDATA[</fo:table-row>]]></xsl:text>
</fo:table-body>

Thanks for any help.

You MUSTN'T enclose XML tags to be written to the output in CDATA
sections. In SAX that will result in calls to characters() instead of
startElement/endElement and therefore your closing fo:table-row tags
don't get recognized as tags. What you did here is a hack. Try to
reformulate that snippet.
