"[ERROR]: Don't know what to do with"

Ok, so I had the time to download an old FOP version, and was
glad to see it had a jimi-1.0.jar in it! It works to a degree. I
did this:

C:\xsl\build>Fop list.fo list.pdf

Now I get the following error message now:

[ERROR]: Don't know what to do with

.....and that's it. It doesn't even tell me what it doesn't know
what to do with. I'm stumped and baffled.

Devon

PS. who would I write to, to let Apache know that their latest 
    FOP package is missing a jimi-1.0.jar? I can only imagine
    how many other people are having a problem and giving up.

Not a very good idea on Win95/98/ME (or any other system), it
searches for a command file
  fop list.fo list.pdf.exe
(with spaces)


On Win95/98/ME, the command processor feeds the whole command
line in one piece to the applications, therefore the JRE parses
the command line. Either there is a bug in the parser, or the
command processor appends some ugly invisible character. It's
been years since i last delat with DOS based systems, but I
believe the command line gets a \r\n ant the end, perhaps
the JRE doesn't count the \r as white space and passes it as
parameter.

It would help to run a test program to see what happens:

public class TestC {
   static final char[] hex={'0','1','2','3','4','5','6','7',
                          '8','9','A','B','C','D','E','F'};
   static public void main(String[] arg) {
     for( int i=0;i<arg.length;i++ ) {
       byte[] b=arg[i].getBytes();
       for( int j=0;j<b.length;j++ ) {
         System.out.print(""+hex[b[j]/16]+hex[b[j]%16]+' ');
       }
       System.out.println();
     }
   }
}

Strange, this error happens if you give three commandline arguments
and in your case this seems to be blank (really strange .. which
OS are you using?)

You could try "fop list.fo list.pdf" (with quotes)

This is the appropriate place but we had to remove jimi because we
are not allowed to distribute it (it is mentioned in the release notes!)

Because of a licensing issue, you now need to download jimi-1.0.jar from the
sun website. Check the fop website for more information

Hi,

try this:

FOP list.fo -pdf list.pdf

Or for AWT output

FOP list.fo -awt

Ok, so I had the time to download an old FOP version, and was
glad to see it had a jimi-1.0.jar in it! It works to a degree. I
did this:

C:\xsl\build>Fop list.fo list.pdf

Now I get the following error message now:

[ERROR]: Don't know what to do with

.....and that's it. It doesn't even tell me what it doesn't know
what to do with. I'm stumped and baffled.

I'm glad I'm not the only one with this problem. Interesting you
noticed a problem when using it on Windows ME (i'm using that OS
myself). I just found Fop 0.20.1 works exactly as expected, but
Fop 0.20.3 still gives me that strange error. I'm not sure how
the OS could possibly affect a java program's ability to run
though. Anyway, I'd much prefer to use 0.20.3, but I'll have to
use the older version too until an update is made or something
is figured out.

Thank you all. I'm going to poke around the Apache site now and
figure out who to e-mail about the missing jimi-1.0.jar & the
way Windows ME affects 0.20.3.

I had the same error message since I use fop 0.20.2 and later fop
0.20.3, but I had no problems with fop 0.20.1 and earlier versions. I
don't know what EXACTLY is the problem but the problem solved itself
after I changed my OS from Windows ME to Windows 2000 (using the SAME
UNMODIFIED fop installation!!!). Now it works fine.
