Description
Attached is the stylesheet for Word2003 XML (wordml), which throws an exception, when used for transformation with Java 5 (XSLTC).

The compiler warning seems not correct to me and the error message
'ICONST can be used only for value between -1 and 5: 17' is not user friendly at all. There is no chance to write a work-around via XSLT by this message.

Works with Xalan 2.6.0.

EVALUATION Problem is fixed by using a PUSH rather than an ICONST instruction. Patch is available in JAXP 1.4 downloadable from Java.net. CR is also being proposed for JDK 6 update 2.

EVALUATION bug is being re-opened per user comment: Comment added by (###@###.###) : Please REOPEN THIS BUG - it is *not* a duplicate of 5056688. It is identical to this bug: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XALANJ-2160 5056688 only affects template elements that are too large to be compiled into one method. This bug affects absolute path expressions that have one step and a numeric predicate.

EVALUATION this is being closed as a duplicate of 5056688. compilation of large stylesheets run into JVM size limits. solution is to: - bundle interpretive transformer in addition to compiled transformer - re-arch stylesheet compiler to build bytecodes differently all of these solutions are a major release effort. ###@###.### 2005-05-25 22:39:45 GMT
