RE: External-graphic

Hi again
I've written my own pdf generator using Java.
Therefore I've used the libraries from apache fop_bin_0_13_0.jar,
xalan.jar and xerces.jar

I cannot see any reason why changes suggested would prevent the object
from being recognized by whatever processor you are using (you don't say
which it is) provided it is a conforming XSL-FO processor.

I note that page-master-name= is *not* an attribute for
simple-page-master.

I note there is no region in your page geometry with the flow name of
"photo".

><fo:sequence-specification>

I note this is not an element type in the standardized XSL-FO
vocabulary.

If the remainder of this instance beyond fo:external-graphic is working,
it does not look like a conforming XSL-FO processor is being used to
process your instance.

I note that you have not changed the syntax as suggested, perhaps
leaving it this way will continue to give you problems when you have
resolved why your processor is complaining about the correct spelling of
an element type in the FO vocabulary.

But it looks like you aren't even using standard XSL-FO.
