    That error usually comes about because the DocBook Java extension jar file
    is not found in the CLASSPATH to the command. It looks correct in your CP
    variable, so I don't know why it isn't being found.

    The reason FOP doesn't give you an error is because it doesn't set
    use.extensions=1, so it doesn't try to find the extension function. If your
    results are satisfactory without the extensions, then set use.extensions=0
    (or leave it off because that is the default).
