There are a few upper limits, although they are not well-documented. They
are also so high enough that you are unlikely ever to exceed them. Off
the top of my head:
2147483647 unique tokens
2147483647 opcodes, tokens, etc. in the op code map.
Since the opcodes and tokens are all ints, you would be using 2GB of
memory just to reach the limit of the opcode map. That would be a very
large XPath expression, and the actually text representation of it would
probably exceed physical memory on your machine, even before you compiled
it.
In general, I think you would run out of memory before you exceeded one of
these limits.

Subject: size limit on XPath expression?
Is there a upper size limit on the length of an XPath expression that
xalan-c can evaluate?
thanks,
