M.H. commented on FOP-2914:
---------------------------
Probably not as we had to stick to Saxcon for this bug ... in the meantime,
Xalan is probably end of life (not upgraded anymore). We tried newer Saxon
versions but get lots of new problems with our existing XSLTs, so we are not
able to somehow move to another XSLT Processor with a short period of time.

> Key: FOP-2914
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FOP-2914
> Project: FOP
> Issue Type: Bug
> Environment: Windows 10, OpenJDK 11.0.2, Fop 2.3 (Fop 2.4)
> Reporter: M.H.
> Priority: Major
>
> So far, we used Xalan (2.7.2) as the XSLT Processor to transform our XML/XSL
> to FO and further to IF (intermediate format) to concat these to one file
> that is finally rendered to PDF (to avoid multiple fonts via PDF
> concatenation). We now have a current version of a 3rd party library that
> breaks our app because of Xalan (known bug:
> [https://stackoverflow.com/questions/45152707/transformerfactory-and-xalan-dependency-conflict])
> . So we investigated a lot of time, adjusted our XMl APIs, converted to
> JAXB, removed Xalan and werent able to use the JDK 11 internal XSLT processor
> because our (hundreds of) XSLTs don't work anymore because they only seem to
> work with a "lazy" XSLT processor like Xalan. For this reason, we evaluate
> the Saxon XSLT processor. With *Saxon*, most things work again except one bug:
> We (have to) include SVG files with instream-foreign-object:
> {code:xml}
> <fo:instream-foreign-object>
> <svg:svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg";
> xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"; width="120mm" height="120mm" >
> <svg:image xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink";
> xlink:href="Test.svg" width="120mm" height="120mm"/>
> </svg:svg>
> </fo:instream-foreign-object>
> {code}
> And during the transformation of the FO to Apaches intermediate format IF, a
> NullPointerException occurs:
> {code:java}

> the error does not occur, but the output is wrong (SVG is not displayed
> correctly - this is the case since FOP 0.95, etc.).
> We tested with our current FOP 2.3 and also with the latest FOP 2.4; used
> different SVG files, fiddled with several parameters of
> instream-foreign-object / svg:svg / svg: image, ....always same error.
> So we end up not being able to use the JDK internal XSLT or Xalan XSLT
> processor and are stuck with Saxon at this single NullPointerException during
> FO to IF transaformation. We spend yesterday the whole day (!) search for
> solutions / workarounds on the web but the only hint we found was something
> with namespaces or empty URIs.
> We tried to create a reproducable case with "fop.bat" and plain FOP directory
> (original, without Xalan, without Xalan and with Saxon), same OpenJDK,
> create single scripts to transform FO to IF and IF to PDF, but the bug didn't
> occur! So, it seems it only occours when using the Java API.
