Thank you, it's starting to make more sense now.

Small addition: the explanation is probably that Sun's internal Xalan  
prefers XSLTC, and wants to convert the stylesheet to a Java Class.  
There are limits to the length of a single source file in Java.

Another route to try, if you don't want to (or cannot) switch the  
XSLT processor, could thus be to try and divide the single huge  
stylesheet into multiple smaller ones (linking them together by means  
of xsl:include or xsl:import). I'm not an expert in XSLTC, but this  
may suffice to trigger the generation of multiple smaller Java  
classes, instead of one monolithic one.


HTH
