i did verify that it was FOP that was accessing the network. i use xsltproc for the XML -> FO step, and that works fine. i run into the problem when FOP starts to run *just* as the network hangs -- i have a flaky setup with my wireless card, and it just freezes every so often. here's the first part of the output from FOP, if anyone can suggest ways of reducing the number of errros/warnings: rm -rf pidgin.xsl tmp.pdg gen.xml rm -rf fo.xsl gen.fo gen.pdf cat prolog.xml gen.pdg trailer.xml > tmp.pdg genxsl > pidgin.xsl # java com.icl.saxon.StyleSheet tmp.pdg pidgin.xsl > gen.xml xsltproc pidgin.xsl tmp.pdg > gen.xml mkfoxsl fonts admon pagebreak titles verbatim xsltproc --nonet fo.xsl gen.xml > gen.fo # /usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2/bin/java org.apache.xalan.xslt.Process -in gen.xml -xsl fo.xsl -out gen.fo # /usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2/bin/java com.icl.saxon.StyleSheet gen.xml fo.xsl > gen.fo /usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2/bin/java org.apache.fop.apps.Fop -fo gen.fo gen.pdf # at this point, FOP has clearly started. if the network hangs any time after this point, FOP just freezes.
