You are right Joerg, I was experiencing the bug in XSLTC you mentionned,
since it works with Xalan.
So I thank you very much for your help, really.

Ok.


But this kind of problem shows once more how Cocoon cannot be considered
as a serious framework for industry projects. I'm sorry but that's true
when there are such enormous bugs in the latest *supposedly stable*
2.1 distribution...

No! Cocoon 2.1 was never marked as stable. Today there was an announcement about RC 1. The latest stable release is 2.0.4 - with Xalan as default. Yes, the Cocoon 2.1 core is more or less stable. But we depend also on external libraries like Xalan and XSLTC. And we don't offer a commercial product, where one organization is "responsible" - that's open source, you have to live with the one or the other limitation.


Why was XSLTC made the default transformer if such a bug is known? I don't
get it...

Because XSLTC is supposed to be the better while faster transformer. Furthermore we help the Xalan community to test their product. The bug is already found and will be fixed anytime hopefully. You can higher the "pressure" on fixing this bug e.g. by voting on this bug (again the URL: http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=20381).


I'm looking forward to when Cocoon will be usable without having to find
workarounds to avoid its inherent bugs. Maybe when my project will be
over...

I'm sorry if this is your thinking. But you can't use much open source software then.
