I found this in the mailing list archives, for what it's worth.... From: Jeremias Maerki [mailto:d...@jeremias-maerki.ch] Sent: Friday, June 15, 2007 1:28 AM To: fop-users@xmlgraphics.apache.org Subject: Re: flow does not map to the region-body error
Well, as the error message says, FOP doesn't support that, yet. FOP currently expects that the flow-name of the fo:flow maps to the region-body in the simple-page-master. If it were: <fo:flow flow-name="xsl-region-body"> it would work. I know this is generally possible, but I guess it is too exotic and nobody cared to implement that possibility, yet. Obviously no one has implemented it since then.

Eric has a point. It appears that the FO you're generating is not valid and that's why FOP shows errors. To debug the situation I suggest you take FOP out of the picture for the moment and just run your XSLT transformation. Then take a look at the FO file that is generated and fix your stylesheet as necessary. As a convenience, FOP offers to run just the XSLT transformation on the command-line: fop -xml my.xml -xsl my.xml -foout out.fo It can be difficult to debug problems if you always run both the XSLT transformation and the FO layout at the same time. Good luck!
