I used DocBook without any problems in Cocoon. It's a few months ago and I don't know what versions of Cocoon and Xalan I used. I guess it was Cocoon 2.0.3, Xalan 2.3.1 and DocBook 1.51. So try to test it with a more current version of DocBook (I don't have a file docbook/html/common/common.xsl, only docbook/common/common.xsl, but no line 1576). Furthermore it's possible, that it is a bug in Xalan 2.3.1, so try 2.4.1.
Regards,
Joerg

I have a question about using DocBook XSL with Cocoon, for anyone who has been successful in doing so. In hopes of getting some help and maybe helping others, I offer the following background.
After reading numerous posts to the archives for this list, and other resources, I am aware that not everyone is in favor of using the DocBook XSL stylesheets with Cocoon. However, I have also found that some people have done so successfully, and would like to do so myself.
I have been successful in serving DocBook XML content with a homegrown XSL stylesheet and CSS, but when I attempted to use the DocBook XSL to produce html, I get a blank page. (The transform runs fine from the command line.)
Looking at cocoon/WEB-INF/logs/error.log I see a fatal exception in "docbook/html/common/common.xsl; Line 1576; Column 35", "javax.xml.transform.TransformerException: 13 >= 1" and farther down in the log, I see "java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: 13 >= 1"
Going to "docbook/html/common/common.xsl; Line 1576; Column 35", I see the following:
<xsl:when test="$value !="''">
OK, so xalan doesn't like this line, I guess?
Here's my setup:
Cocoon 2.0.3
Using these classes in /usr/tomcat/webapps/cocoon/WEB-INF/lib:
xalan-2.3.1.jar
xalan2.jar (docbook extensions from Norm)
xercesImpl-2.0.0.jar
xml-apis.jar
Using jre 1.3.1_06
DocBook XML DTD 4.2
DocBook XSL 1.5
I would like to keep using xalan, but if I have to add saxon, please point me to a good procedure for doing so. Ditto for any other suggestions.
When I get the setup working, I will post the info to the list.
Thanks.
Joe
