Re: DOCBOOK-APPS: Docbook/XML, done with Java

[Julien Letessier <mezis@free.fr>]

Looks like many of you use a pure-Java solution.

I've been developping a comprehensive, pure-java DocBook processing package
for 'normal' users, and the tools I chose are Xalan and Fop (because they're
portable).

With recent versions of Xalan and the DocBook XSLs I came up with this
little compatibility table:

+--------------------------------------------------+
| xalan-j  XSLs     plain (x)html  chunked (x)html |
+--------------------------------------------------+
| 2.2.0    1.49     yes            no              |
| 2.2.0    1.50+    yes            no              |
| 2.3.1    1.49     yes            no              |
| 2.3.1    1.50+    no             no              |
+--------------------------------------------------+
(using no driver XSL at all)

Errors with plain (x)html:
    file://.../common/common.xsl; Line 1385; Column 35; XSLT Error
(javax.xml.transform.TransformerException): 2 >= 1

Errors with chunked (x)html:
    (Location of error unknown)XSLT Error
    (javax.xml.transform.TransformerConfigurationException):
    javax.xml.transform.TransformerException:
    java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException

Exactly the same problems with, and without activating "-PARAM
xalan.extensions 1".

Does anyone here have success with a recent version of Xalan *and* he XSLs?
Any clue to get rid of this strange errors?

Chers,
