NPE when building RTF from .fo

[Mark Craig <mark.craig@gmail.com>]

Hello,

With DocBook XSL 1.78.1 and Apache FOP 1.1, I'm running into an NPE when building RTF. Has anyone else run into this?

I first encountered this issue with docbkx-tools, https://code.google.com/p/docbkx-tools/issues/detail?id=112

Here's how I reproduce it driving the stylesheets with xsltproc instead of docbkx-tools. (This requires Apache Maven to generate the DocBook example.)

$ mvn \

archetype:generate \

-DgroupId=org.mcraig.test \

-DartifactId=docbkx-rtf-build \

-Dversion=1.0-SNAPSHOT \

-DarchetypeGroupId=com.agilejava.docbkx \

-DarchetypeArtifactId=docbkx-quickstart-archetype \

-DarchetypeVersion=2.0.15

$ xsltproc \

--output book.fo \

--xinclude \

--stringparam fop1.extensions 1 \

docbook/fo/docbook.xsl \

docbkx-rtf-build/src/docbkx/book.xml

PDF generates fine...

$ ./fop-1.1/fop book.fo book.pdf
