Unknown formatting object

[yl...@amadeus.net]

Hi,


I am getting the following error when using fop v0.20.4.
It worked ok before with v0.20.2 and I removed the use of Xerces since
then.
The error message is not very helpful. What could that be ???

I am lost. Please help

----------------------------------------
my Java code :

...
      // Get the StreamSource object from the style sheet file.
      StreamSource theStyleSource = new StreamSource(thePrintStyleSheet);

      // Get Transformer for output.
      TransformerFactory theFactory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
      Transformer theTransformer =
theFactory.newTransformer(theStyleSource);


      // Get the result of the transformer from the Source object.
      ByteArrayOutputStream theFoStream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
      StreamResult theResult = new StreamResult(theFoStream);
      theTransformer.transform(theSource, theResult);

      PrinterJob thePrinterJob = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();
      // If the user has not cancel the dialog.
      if (thePrinterJob.printDialog())
      {

System.out.println("--------- TRACE--setting logger");
        //setting the log correctly
        Logger theLogger = new ConsoleLogger(ConsoleLogger.LEVEL_INFO);
        org.apache.fop.messaging.MessageHandler.setScreenLogger(theLogger);

        Driver theDriver = new Driver();
        theDriver.setLogger(theLogger);

System.out.println("--------- TRACE--setting renderer");
        FopPrintRenderer theRenderer = new FopPrintRenderer(thePrinterJob);
        theDriver.setRenderer(theRenderer);



System.out.println("--------- TRACE--creating parser");

        XMLReader theParser = createParser();

System.out.println("--------- TRACE--rendering");

        ByteArrayInputStream theByteArrayInputStream = new
ByteArrayInputStream(theFoStream.toByteArray());

        theDriver.render(theParser, new
InputSource(theByteArrayInputStream));
...

The error message says that the fo:root element is
not recognized, and FOP got empty strings for both
namespace and element names.

Does your FO file work with the FOP command line
application?
Did you mean you do not use Xerces as XML parser?
If so, does your FO file work if the Xerces.jar in
the lib is replaced by your XML parser?
Does the parser by default recognize namespaces, or
do you set it up so that it recognizes namespaces?
