I am trying to use Apache FOP to create a PDF using XML data and a XSL stylesheet but I keep getting the following error
org.apache.fop.apps.FOPException: org.apache.fop.fo.ValidationException: "{http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format}block" is not a valid child of "fo:root"! (No context info available) javax.xml.transform.TransformerException: org.apache.fop.fo.ValidationException: "{http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format}block" is not a valid child of "fo:root"! (No context info available)
The strange thing is that it works fine when I was testing it on my local Windows machine but when I tried to do the same on Debian server I was getting this error.
I am doing the following on the command line
fop -c fop_config.xml -xml /tmp/fop4IwJKZ -xsl stylesheet.xsl -pdf pdf.pdf Below is my XML:
