I finally found the issue with this.
It is a little silly
In the config file there was an embedded comment
<!-- this is a comment
//TODO:this is also a comment
-->
But this was being classed as mixed content – talk about sax being a pain.

Hi Theresa,
The config is XML, line 1 should be:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
HTH,

Hiya Guys,
After a long time I am trying to get FOP working locally with a java app
(embedded)
org.xml.sax.SAXException: Not allowed to define mixed content in the element
fop at null:1:20
This is the error I am getting on trying to load the config.
<fop version="1.0">
<!-- Strict user configuration -->

<!-- Target resolution in dpi (dots/pixels per inch) for specifying the

<target-resolution>96</target-resolution>
And its crashing on line 1….
Any suggestions?
Theresa
