Title: RE: antstructure bombs

Thanks for the detailed explanation. Unfortunately, I no longer

have xalan 1.1 around and its not really worth getting it for this

problem. I'll just wait until they build an ant with the newest

xalan. Again, thanks for all the help.

 

Steve

I talked about this with Conor before the release, but I guess I wasn't very clear about the issues (I wasn't very sure also since this was pretty new and I didn't have time to do extensive testing and was also fighting bugs and exception swallowing in xalan.). So in any case, I'm somewhat guilty for this problem.

Plus I also stated in the JUnitReport doc that it works with the xalan 2 compatibility jar, which is not the case if it is not compiled with it, I anticipated a little bit.

I don't know if it would make sense to do another build for 1.3 to fix this problem.

As a workaround, you can use xalan 1.2.2 jar with Xalan 2 jar (but not the compatibility jar)
The xalan2 jar gives you the TRaX compliant transformer and the xalan1 jar gives you the 'xalan' processor.
