running FOP.bat from another folder

[Rick Roen]

FOP 0.92 XP Pro Java 1.5.0_6   I’m trying to run the FOP batch file to create pdf from a folder other than the ..\FOP folder where the other fop files are located.   My batch file is below.  I have hard-coded some of the input variables to limit errors, but I get  “Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/fop/cli/Main”, which I think means it can’t find the fop.jar file.   I change the current folder with “cd %local_fop_home% thinking that this will start things in the right folder, but no joy.   When I run this batch file from the FOP folder, it works ok.   Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?   Rick         @echo off set FOP_FILE=%1 set XML_FILE=%2 set XSL_FILE=%3 set PDF_FILE=%4 set ERR_FILE=%5   set LOCAL_FOP_HOME=C:\DELPHI~1\LVSPRO~1\SEEDPA~1\FOP   set LIBDIR=%LOCAL_FOP_HOME%\lib cd %local_fop_home%   set LOCALCLASSPATH=%LOCAL_FOP_HOME%build\fop.jar set LOCALCLASSPATH=%LOCALCLASSPATH%;%LOCAL_FOP_HOME%build\fop-sandbox.jar set LOCALCLASSPATH=%LOCALCLASSPATH%;%LOCAL_FOP_HOME%build\fop-hyph.jar set LOCALCLASSPATH=%LOCALCLASSPATH%;%LIBDIR%\xml-apis-1.3.02.jar set LOCALCLASSPATH=%LOCALCLASSPATH%;%LIBDIR%\xercesImpl-2.7.1.jar rem set LOCALCLASSPATH=%LOCALCLASSPATH%;%LIBDIR%\xalan-2.7.0.jar set LOCALCLASSPATH=%LOCALCLASSPATH%;%LIBDIR%\Saxon8.jar set LOCALCLASSPATH=%LOCALCLASSPATH%;%LIBDIR%\Saxon8-dom.jar set LOCALCLASSPATH=%LOCALCLASSPATH%;%LIBDIR%\serializer-2.7.0.jar set LOCALCLASSPATH=%LOCALCLASSPATH%;%LIBDIR%\batik-all-1.6.jar set LOCALCLASSPATH=%LOCALCLASSPATH%;%LIBDIR%\xmlgraphics-commons-1.0.jar set LOCALCLASSPATH=%LOCALCLASSPATH%;%LIBDIR%\avalon-framework-4.2.0.jar set LOCALCLASSPATH=%LOCALCLASSPATH%;%LIBDIR%\commons-io-1.1.jar set LOCALCLASSPATH=%LOCALCLASSPATH%;%LIBDIR%\commons-logging-1.0.4.jar set LOCALCLASSPATH=%LOCALCLASSPATH%;%LIBDIR%\jimi-1.0.jar set LOCALCLASSPATH=%LOCALCLASSPATH%;%LIBDIR%\jai_core.jar set LOCALCLASSPATH=%LOCALCLASSPATH%;%LIBDIR%\jai_codec.jar set LOCALCLASSPATH=%LOCALCLASSPATH%;%LIBDIR%\fop-hyph.jar set LOCALCLASSPATH=%LOCALCLASSPATH%;%FOP_HYPHENATION_PATH%   rem need to use Saxon8 so we can do a XSLT2.0 transform on the xml rem include Saxon8.jar and Saxon8-dom.jar in the classpath and put in FOP\lib folder rem also use the -Djavax... to assign the TransformerFactory to Saxon below   java -cp "%LOCALCLASSPATH%" -Djavax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory=net.sf.saxon.TransformerFactoryImpl   org.apache.fop.cli.Main -xml %tmp%\primavera\test.xml -xsl %tmp%\primavera\test.xsl -pdf  %tmp%\primavera\test.pdf   pause
