Hi Dustin,

Thank you for your reply...

i've recently read that "page-sequence" might help with the problem of the tables in fop hogging the memory. Do you think that putting a table on each page and setting each page to be a "page-sequence" would help?

Time is running out and i've looked every where for the patch but if this works, that would be GREAT.

Thank you in advance.

The XSL you have here nests page-sequences inside each other and you can't do that. A page-sequence gets paired up with a master. Take a look at this example from zvon[^]. It shows kind of how you would write a book in FO. The first 6 pages are done under one page-sequence and then the subsequent pages are done under a completely different set of page-sequences where the first page has a header a certain way and the even and odd pages have the header aligned differently. It's a complex example, but it should give you an idea of how to use page-sequences.

Umm, a question like this scares me. First, you're saying you don't know how to cast in C# and yet you're working on a program that works with XML? Second, there's the fact that NodeList versus Element didn't tip you off that one is a list of nodes and the other is a single element. It sounds like you need to pick up a book on C# first before you go any further.

Hi,

We are parsing csv file to XML document. It follows a structure. One part has changed.
<code>
<PRODUCTS>
<PRODUCT INVOICE="2" PRODID="1 No Lead" QTY="3000" />
<PRODUCT INVOICE="2" PRODID="3 Super" QTY="1000" />
<PRODUCT INVOICE="2" PRODID="4 Diesel" QTY="1000" />
</PRODUCTS>
</code>
In this case we need to add a
<PRODUCT INVOICE="2" PRODID="2 Plus" QTY="0" />
If a product doesn't exist need to add that name with qty 0. How would we go about doing this? We are adding this to PRODUCT node.

Thanks.

Hi all,

I found out that there is a patch for fop. It reduces the memory usage problem significantly... The thing is though i have no idea how to implement the patch.

This is one of the sites i found the information...

http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.text.xml.fop.user/11739

if anyone has any help that would be great

Thank you in advance

I have this output from an SQL qery using: FOR XML AUTO, ELEMENTS

<br />
<root><br />
	<Companies><br />
		<name>John</name><br />
		<Meetings><br />
			<meetingdate>12/12/06</meetingdate><br />
		</Meetings><br />
	</Companies><br />
<br />
<br />
	<Companies><br />
		<name>Jim</name><br />
		<Meetings><br />
			<meetingdate>08/09/07</meetingdate><br />
		</Meetings><br />
		<Meetings><br />
			<meetingdate>12/12/06</meetingdate><br />
		</Meetings><br />
	</Companies><br />
</root><br />

And I want to format it using XSL into a table like so:
John | 12/12/06
Jim | 08/09/07
Jim | 12/12/06

my problem lies with the fact Jim has "Meetings" twice inside his entry (becuase he has 2 meetings) and im not sure on nesting a for-each inside a for-each so it loops through Companies and while doing so loops through any meetings it finds.

so far my XSL looks like this:

<br />
 <table><br />
        <br />
        <tr><br />
          <th>Company</th><br />
          <th>Date</th><br />
        </tr><br />
<br />
        <xsl:for-each select="//Companies"><br />
          <tr><br />
          <td><br />
            <xsl:value-of select="name"/><br />
          </td><br />
          <td><br />
            <xsl:value-of select="Meetings/meetingdate"/><br />
          </td><br />
          </tr>      <br />
        </xsl:for-each><br />
        <br />
<br />
      </table><br />

but it only prints out the first meeting in each entry.

Cany any one help me with this ?

Well, it looks like you want one row per meeting. You can skip the nested for loop. It's pretty simple:

<xsl:for-each select="//Companies/Meetings">
<tr><td>
<xsl:value-of select="../name"/>
</td><td>
<xsl:value-of select="meetingdate"/>
</td></tr>
</xsl:for-each>
