These threads have been going on for quite a while. If I were you, I would count up all the hours I just spent researching ways to get around FOP's shortcomings. Then I would estimate how much time I expect to spend solving the current problem and how much time will be wasted in the future when doing other reports. Then I would write this up in a report and include a description of how your workarounds are adding unnecessary complexity which makes it harder to maintain the stylesheets. Then, find an alternative: a commercial product that does the same thing as FOP but without the memory problems. Be careful to do your homework because even some of the commercial products have the same problem. I used Chive Apoc at one job and it worked great, plus it has an evaluation version.
Gather all of this information into a report and submit it to your manager. It is often difficult to convince managers to buy a tool especially when there are free ones available. That's why you have to convince him/her. I ran into FOP's memory problem like 4 years ago and they still haven't fixed it. If they haven't done it yet, they probably never will. Your time costs money. You have to show your manager that they will save money by buying a tool instead of having you spend tons of time coming up with creative workarounds.

Thanks dustin, once again 
The thing is, i'm so close, i can feel it...
this page sequence thing is looking promissing...
i almost got it just one more hick-up. My stylesheet has one more problem that i'm struggling with, then, hopfully, i wont need no patch for FOP and my memory problem will be very small. I have an example of the page sequence method but i'm stuggling to implement it. Not shure what part is doing what. You know?...

Well I hope you get it all solved. It's gratifying to solve difficult problems like this. But do keep in mind that ultimately someone is paying you to do a job and time you spend spinning your wheels costs them money. (Not to mention time spent surfing code project because you're uninterested in the work you're doing, but let's forget about me )

You have to identify where in your document could be inserted a page break
or
decide to break intentionally after N rows of datas (1 record on your XML
file can be M rows on document so M*N is the total rows on document)
In the second case put logic for break when ciclying your datas templates
using something like this ($STOP is max number of data rows for page):
<xsl:for-each select="DATA_ROW[position() mod $STOP = 1]">
<fo:page-sequence master-reference="YOUR_MASTER_REFERENCE"
initial-page-number="auto">
<fo:flow flow-name="xsl-region-body">
<fo:table table-layout="fixed" width="480pt">
<fo:table-column column-width="85pt"/>
<fo:table-column column-width="15pt"/>
<fo:table-body>
<fo:table-row line-height="30pt">
<fo:table-cell>
<fo:block
text-align="center" font-size="10pt" font-family="Courier">title

</fo:table-cell>
<fo:table-cell>

</fo:table-cell>
</fo:table-row>

<xsl:for-each

<xsl:template match="DATA_ROW">

<fo:table-body>

The second page sequence is the problem...
I'm not shure what it is i'm doing wrong but it is not inserting more page sequences. Am i understanding correctly when i say that the Variable that i created STOP <just like in the example> is the number of rows in a table on a page. If it is then That is exactly what i want to do...
The thing is, i think that i'm looping the wrong for each. There is just one "TableEnties" tag... I think i should loop the "TableInfo" tag.
Is this correct?
If it is, would anyone have an idea of how to do so?
Thank you once again.
Okay, now i've tried putting in a TableEntries/TableInfo instead of TableEntries into the first for each in the seconde page-sequeance. This put in all the needed pages but did not display anything on the pages...
See, the thing i want to do is for every <lets say 5 as an example> "TableInfo" tags <every "TableInfo" tag is a Row in my table> i want to insert a new page-sequence.
Please help...

Hallo,
Using Visual Studio 2003 I have a big problem editing a XML file with about 25000 lines. As soon as I copy paste something into the xml file validation starts which needs on my computer up to a minute. I do not need validation at all. I need fast editing capibilities. How can I switch this slow crap function off? 
Sincerely
Chris

Hi everyone!
I know that this isn't the right place to post this message but i need help urgantly.
I read up on fop and there is a patch for the problem i'm having...
FOP runs my system's memory dry... This problem derives from the fact that FOP doesn't release the memory very well with tables and i have a very big table in my xsl.
You might make better sence of what they mean at these sites...
http://blog.gmane.org/gmane.text.xml.fop.user/day=20040124

Sorry yet again for posting it here.

I'll present you with an alternative to this. You're probably using FOP to take in the XML and the XSL and produce a PDF. It's been a few years, but what I recall about FOP and Java's XML processing in general is that they're both memory hogs. .Net's processing is a lot more efficient. What you could try is writing a little .Net command line app that takes your XML and XSL documents and applies the transform. Have it spit out an .fo document and then run that through FOP to get the PDF. Hopefully that will work for you!

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.

That depends. How are you doing this?

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>
