If it is in fact the file URL that's the problem, I'm pretty sure the problem happens within Xalan as I'm passing in a StreamResult(File). > As of Java 6, the recommended way is to use File.toURI().toURL(). > According to the API docs, File.toURL() "does not automatically > escape characters that are illegal in URLs.

I guess it makes sense to change all occurences now that we're on Java 1.4. I've changed the StreamSource(File) to StreamSource(File.toURI().toURL().toExternalForm()) as a first experiment. Bonekrusher can then retry on his machine. http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?rev=676161&view=rev On my machine the following: System.out.println(outputFile.toURI().toASCIIString()); System.out.println(outputFile.toURI().toString()); System.out.println(outputFile.toURI().toURL().toExternalForm()); System.out.println(outputFile.toURL().toExternalForm()); yielded the following results: [eventResourceGenerator] file:/C:/Dev/FOP/main/xml-fop-temp/build/gensrc/org/apache/fop/events/event-model.xml [eventResourceGenerator] file:/C:/Dev/FOP/main/xml-fop-temp/build/gensrc/org/apache/fop/events/event-model.xml [eventResourceGenerator] file:/C:/Dev/FOP/main/xml-fop-temp/build/gensrc/org/apache/fop/events/event-model.xml [eventResourceGenerator] file:/C:/Dev/FOP/main/xml-fop-temp/build/gensrc/org/apache/fop/events/event-model.xml Just for reference, Bonekrusher got file:\C:\fop_trunk\trunk\build\gensrc\org\apache\fop\events\event-model.xml on his machine (see his first post). > Makes you wonder why the implementation of toURL() then does not > simply do that already...
