Hi,
I understand my stylesheet snippets are amature because that's just
what I was
when I started the project, an XSL amature.
Whoops, I hope I didn't give the impression that I was mocking your
current level of understanding XSLT... Besides that, strictly
speaking I'm an amateur myself, so don't worry. I just tried to raise
some valid questions, based on the parts of the stylesheet you've
shown us, and what I learned about XSLT over the years. Sometimes,
you help people more by putting it as a question, so they will have
to make the effort to answer it for themselves... Once you do, the
logic behind it will remain apparent longer than if you get a fully
worked-out solution on a platter. You will be able to profit from the
gained knowledge in other scenarios as well.
No need to post the full stylesheet. I'd rather see *you* take a look
at it, at the XSLT Rec and at some of the answers you already
received, and try to make out whether any comments that were offered
can be of use to you.
Now that that's out of the way:

Here's a brief synopsis of how things work. A group of Java classes
run
multiple queries to pull data from the db and into a result set.
Some more
Java code transforms the data into XML (sort of an intermediate
form for the
report). my stylesheet then takes the resultset tranformed into XML
and
transforms it again into FO for the FOP engine. The data can be
voluminous
and we are looking into streamlining the process. My major
bottleneck now has
been the stylesheet creating FO that appears to be choking the FO
engine. In
a perfect world I'd love to just dump the report in one page
sequence element
and have the engine sort it out but it doesn't appear to work well
that way.
So IIC, you need to make it look like it had all been placed under
one page-sequence. (more or less: only the very last page in the
document can be filled partly, but the rest needs to appear as if it
were one fo:flow in one fo:page-sequence). Is that a correct assessment?
Cheers,
Andreas
