1. You can and should reuse the TransformerFactory. 2. FO is not a stylesheet. The FO is the input to the transform, where you were putting the XML not the XSL. Leave out the XSL part on the FO one.

In the first it's an xslt, in the second it's a FO file, do I have to do something different for that? WTF aren't these the same, and why does so much of FOP jump out without even trying to give debug output? Or is there a way of doing that? Kindest regards Theresa Forster Senior Software Developer
