I have a requirement to convert XML to PDF document for that am using XSL - Apache FOP (Java). Am getting the below error The method newInstance(FopFactoryConfig) in the type FopFactory is not applicable for the arguments () for the below line
// create an instance of fop factory
FopFactory fopFactory = FopFactory.newInstance();
Please find my full java code:
public static void main (String args[])
{
// the XSL FO file
File xsltfile = new File("sample2.xsl");
// the XML file from which we take the name
StreamSource source = new StreamSource(new File("sample2.xml"));
// creation of transform source
StreamSource transformSource = new StreamSource(xsltfile);
// create an instance of fop factory
FopFactory fopFactory = FopFactory.newInstance(); // Error throwing in this line..
// a user agent is needed for transformation
FOUserAgent foUserAgent = fopFactory.newFOUserAgent();
// to store output
ByteArrayOutputStream outStream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
Transformer xslfoTransformer;
try
{
xslfoTransformer = getTransformer(transformSource);
// Construct fop with desired output format
Fop fop;
try
{
fop = fopFactory.newFop
(MimeConstants.MIME_PDF, foUserAgent, outStream);
// Resulting SAX events (the generated FO)
// must be piped through to FOP
Result res = new SAXResult(fop.getDefaultHandler());
// Start XSLT transformation and FOP processing
try
{
// everything will happen here..
xslfoTransformer.transform(source, res);
// if you want to get the PDF bytes, use the following code
//return outStream.toByteArray();
// if you want to save PDF file use the following code
File pdffile = new File("Result.pdf");
OutputStream out = new java.io.FileOutputStream(pdffile);
out = new java.io.BufferedOutputStream(out);
FileOutputStream str = new FileOutputStream(pdffile);
str.write(outStream.toByteArray());
str.close();
out.close();
}

private static Transformer getTransformer(StreamSource streamSource)
{

net.sf.saxon.TransformerFactoryImpl impl =

try {
return impl.newTransformer(streamSource);
} catch (TransformerConfigurationException e) {
