Douglas,
Sorry, this is my bad. It turns out that we blissfully ignore the expression
language attribute in the source ('from-spec") of the <copy> element (shown
in the "from-spec" variant below).
<from expressionLanguage="anyURI"?>expression</from>
For now, at least until I resolve the problem, please set the
expressionLanguage attribute globally on the <process> element.
Best Regards,
Karthick Sankarachary
