Actually, I'm surprised the process got as far is it did. The tgroup element in your
table lacks a required cols attribute. In the stock template matching on tgroup in
fo/table.xsl, it checks for the absence of that attribute and terminates processing
with this message:
Error: CALS tables must specify the number of columns.
So I'm surprised you even got a well-formed FO file to feed to FOP. Try adding the
cols attribute and see if that works.

Subject: [docbook-apps] DocBook to FOP transformation produces "fo:table is missing
child elements."
Hi,
I'm using the following command to convert a Docbook book to PDF:
xsltproc -o intermediate-fo-file.fo \
--stringparam generate.index 1 \
--stringparam fop1.extensions 1 \
--stringparam double.sided 1 \
--stringparam page.height 9in \
--stringparam page.width 7in \
--stringparam page.margin.inner .75in \
--stringparam page.margin.outer .75in \
--stringparam page.margin.top 1.0in \
--stringparam page.margin.bottom 1.0in \
--stringparam header.rule 0 \
--stringparam footer.rule 0 \
--stringparam body.start.indent 0pc \
fostyles.xsl \
chapters/staging/book.docbook
fop -d -pdf EZF.pdf -fo intermediate-fo-file.fo
The conversion works perfectly except for when I attempt to insert a
table into one of the documents. Doing so produces the following error
message:
SEVERE: Exception
javax.xml.transform.TransformerException:
org.apache.fop.fo.ValidationException:
file:/home/wjgilmore/books/easyphpwebsiteszendframework2e/intermediate-fo-file.fo:69:984:
Error(69/984): fo:table is missing child elements.
Required Content Model:
(marker*,table-column*,table-header?,table-footer?,table-body+)
at org.apache.fop.cli.InputHandler.transformTo(InputHandler.java:217)
...
I'm at a loss because the table isn't anything special:
<table>
<title>Framework Conventions</title>
<tgroup>
<colspec colwidth="1*" />
<colspec colwidth="2*" />
<thead>
<row>
<entry>Convention</entry>
<entry>Description</entry>
</row>
</thead>
<tbody>
<row>
<entry>Configuration Management</entry>
<entry>BLAH</entry>
</row>
</tbody>
</tgroup>
</table>
Any ideas? Thanks much.
Jason
