Using Docbook XSL's
Hello,
I am new to forrest and enjoying it very much. However, I would like to find a
solution to use the Norman Walsh stylesheets for HTML and FO
conversion.
I have read the FAQ, but I am afraid that this is very vague. It referenced to
the sitemap.xmap and I am not sure that this has anything to do with my
problem. Perhaps I am wrong. I have also searched the mail-archive, where I
found a thread that almost made it clear to me, but when I try I get errors.
The problem is that I do NOT want Forrest to transform to Docbook XML 4.2
content to the Apache XHTML. The stylesheets supplied with, forrest while
doing a reasonable job, do not handle many of the docbook tags.
I have copied the *.xmap to documentation/
For HTML I have modified forrest.xmap to point to my local installation of
html/docbook.xsl
The default forrest default is:
<map:when test="docbook-v4.2">
<map:transform src="resources/stylesheets/docbook2document.xsl" />
</map:when>
After modification:
<map:when test="docbook-v4.2">
<map:transform src="/usr/share/sgml/docbook/
docbook-xsl-stylesheets-1.61.3/html/docbook.xsl" />
</map:when>
When I run "forrest" in the project everything runs fine until it comes time
to create the output. It exits with
* [0] 1.432s 766b favicon.ico
X [0] index.html BROKEN: java.lang.NullPointerException
Total time: 0 minutes 20 seconds
BUILD FAILED
/usr/local/forrest/forrest.build.xml:631: Java returned: 1
This is for HTML. Once I fix this problem I will move on to how to get PDF.
Any ideas what may be wrong.

Thanks David. Will go back to sitemap.xmap and the faq. Questions will revert
to the list.

That is exactly what you need to do. Follow the FAQ and use
your own copy of sitemap.xmap (you do not need to duplicate
the other *.xmap)

See above, but only copy sitemap.xmap and not the others.

No, do not do that. This is just interfering with the forrest
internal pipeline that is using the minimal docbook2document.xsl
This goes via the intermediate Forrest "document" format.

This hack to forrest.xmap is just feeding Forrest with events
that it is not expecting, because you replaced the intermediate
transformation.
Go back to the FAQ, and tell us the "errors" that you receive.
If there is something not clear in the FAQ, then please ask.
