Thanks for the reply. Actually i created a file now named testresources.afp and it did not give the error. Now it's not showing the error but my concern
is will it not create the resources file if it does not exist?

The config file seems OK...
Aha! Now that you mention it, I noticed when checking the code that we test for resourceFile.canWrite(), and the Java API docs explicitly state that it returns true "if and only if the file system actually contains a file denoted by this abstract pathname /and/ the application is allowed to write to the file". So, if the file does not exist, canWrite() will return false and leads to the cited error message.

Seems like somebody has not tested their code thoroughly enough... :-(

I'll see if I can add a small change that creates the file if it does not exist, before the call to canWrite(). I'll let you know when this is done, so you can update your copy of trunk.

I'm quite surprised no one noticed this earlier.

I am not sure that it is writing the resources to that file.. Can you guide me how can i check if the resources are being added to the resources file.

Not sure... I'm no AFP-expert, but maybe this can be checked by opening the file in an AFP viewer application (?)

Should that file be with an extension afp?

I don't think the .afp extension is mandatory, but then, in the meantime I'm so used to working on platforms where a file extension has no inherent special meaning... I could be mistaken.

and will that file need to be present in the printers resources location?

No idea. I'm sorry, but I would suppose so.

Sorry for too many questions.. Many questions because i am loving FOP day by
day.

In that case, you're forgiven :-)
Seriously, no problem at all. Better ask one question too many, than making one too many faulty assumption.

Regards & Keep FOP'ing
