Re: Exception : Could not compile stylesheet

I'm sorry about missing the response at wrox forum.
Nevertheless, at the moment the only error message i can see on the console is

ERROR:  'org/apache/avalon/framework/configuration/Configuration'

which is thrown at the below line of Java code,

Templates templates = tFactory.newTemplates(new
StreamSource("ReceiptXSL-FO.xsl"));

which gives me the clue that there are some configuration related
issues while loading the stylesheet. My concern is that the
'org/apache/avalon/framework/configuration/Configuration' class
(bundled in avalon-framework-4.2.0.jar of FOP/lib dir) should not have
been invoked as currently I'm only transforming XML to XSL-FO using
Java-XML API's. I've not yet started with processing the output
(XSL-FO) into PDF with FOP. Moreover, I'm successfully able to do XML
-> XSL-FO -> PDF transformations  using Oxygen XML editor. Hence, I
doubt if my stylesheet has some errors. Most likely I'm not able to do
the manual configuration correctly before running the program as the
oxygen allows to configure everything (XSLT/FOP processor, extensions,
custom fonts) from one place. Please excuse me if my interpretation or
understanding is not correct.
