I have been able to run the existing Stylus XSLFormattingObjects example, using the catalog.xsl with fop-0.20.5, using a basic java program to read the xml, pass it through the xsl and output to pdf. However, I am trying to do the same now with the newest version of fop, and I am having a problem. I can run the minimal-catalo.xsl, but when I try to use catalog.xsl, I get this error:
(Location of error unknown)org.apache.fop.fo.expr.PropertyException: Border and padding for region "xsl-region-before" must be '0' (See 6.4.13 in XSL 1.0).

I have looked at the xsl shhet and tried to understand and modify the template, but no success.

Any suggetsions or advice would be appreciated.

Michael,
we have recently discovered the same problem, and we are fixing it in the next minor Stylus Studio update.

In the meanwhile, I'm attaching the correct catalog.xsl to this post.

Hope this helps,
Minollo

Thanks very much for your prompt reply. I think it works now. There is still a small problem with the example code from apache. Uisng the older fop (0.20.5) the application generates a 208 K Adobe pdf document. Using the newer fop (0.91) the application now runs to completion, and generates an 8 K Adobe pdf document, which will not open. The destination output folder contains another file, probably an intermediate work file, named I with no extension, of 210 K size. If I open that with Adobe Acrobat, it looks like the complete catalog. So there probably is something else going on. I have written the fop user group and hope to hear back.

It worked fine for me when I tried; I used:

c:\fop-0.91beta\fop.bat %1 %2
...as command line
.pdf
...as extension, and I got the correct output.

Thanks again. I found the problem. I had left an extraneous I in my command-line arguments as the third value. That was where the file got written. That must have caused the fourth argument catalog.pdf to get some incomplete action. When I cleaned this up, it worked fine from within my java application.
