I am trying to use an example from Dave Pawson's book XSL-FO from chapt 10.
I am having problems with FOP blowing up with a Null Pointer exception on
the class and function of: CommandLineStarter.run(...).
I am using FOP 20.5 and running these files with ithe command line:
fop -d -xsl main.xslt -xml book.xml -pdf output.pdf
Would someone else be kind enough to run these on their system and let me
know what the results were? I have some other files that approximate this
same behavior so I used his example to trace what I thought was my problem,
and his stuff won't run either, so I am a bit flummoxed...
Thank you,
Curtis Fisher
Here are the 3 files:
