<s3 title="Known Problems">
<ul>
- <li>All the currently know problems with XSLTC are filed in Bugzilla. To
see the list,
- do a query with the Program set to XalanJ2 and the Components set to
org.apache.xalan.xsltc and/or
- Xalan-Xsltc.</li>
+ <li>Casting variables: XSLTC requires you to explicitly type cast values
+ returned by variables or expressions, when you use them in tests. Always a
good
+ practice, but it may seem like overkill in some in contexts, where other
XSLT processors
+ automatically assume or convert to the correct type. For example. unless
you cast $country
+ to a string in the following apply-templates, entry nodes whose
<country> elements
+ contain a string matching the global $country parameter are NOT
selected.<br/><br/>
+ <code><xsl:apply-templates
select="entry[country=string($country)]"/></code></li>
+ <li>Order dependency of conditions within a predicate: If you have a
predicate in a select or match
+ expression that has multiple conditions, one of which contains a union (X
or Y), put it last.
+ Otherwise, the predicate fails to match node that it should.</li>
+ <li>When using DOM caching, as shown in the Servlet demo, if the source
document is local to the
+ server, the cache is not refreshed when the source XML document is
modified. This
+ problem does not apply when the source is associated with a URL.</li>
+ <li>If you have a list of references included or imported stylesheets, put
any with
+ a relative path last; otherwise, stylesheets in the current directory are
not found.</li>
+ <li>[1] should be treated equivalent to position()=1, but it is not.
Therefore, if
+ you get unexpected results using such shortcut positional predicates,
substitute the
+ full postion()= version.</li>
+ <li>XSLTC fails to match existing nodes when match expressions have
+ multiple steps with predicates containing the position function.
+ The following examples are taken from the XSLTMark oddtemplates.xsl
test:<br/><br/>
+ <code> match='top/*[position()=2]'</code><br/>
+ <code> match='top/*[6]/kid[2]'</code><br/>
+
<code> match='top/*[position()=last()]'</code><br/></li>
+ <li>XSTLC has problems with output escaping, see bug 1403.</li>
+ <li>Case-order option with sorting is ignored.</li>
+ <li>As a minor side-effect of implementing simplified stylesheets, if you
inadvertenly
+ go to compile a stylesheet and give the name of the .xml doc instead of
the .xsl doc,
+ it may compile without a warning. In some cases, the compiler aborts with
an error

-<p>TO BE REWRITTEN</p>
+<p>
+The Translet API has been extended to conform with the JAXP1.1 TrAX model.
+This release contains the first implementation of that extension. Two
+new classes have been added to the Translet XSLT codebase, they are:</p>
+<p>(1) <code>org.apache.xalan.xsltc.runtime.TransformerFactoryImpl</code>
-<br/>

SAXTransformerFactory.</p>
+<p>(2) <code>org.apache.xalan.xsltc.runtime.TransletTemplates</code> -
+ the Translet implementation of a Templates
object.</p>
+<p>
+The existing XSLT class 'org.apache.xalan.xsltc.runtime.AbstractTranslet'
+that implements the Translet interface is now also extending the
+javax.xml.transform.Transformer abstract class.
+</p>
+<p>
+This implementation is only a partial implementation, with many limitations.
+These limitations include:
+</p>
+<ol>
+<li>Currently 'StreamSource' and 'StreamResult' are the only
+ TrAX Sources and Results that are supported.</li>
+<li>The translet is compiled everytime a call is made to the<br/>

+<li>The translet is compiled everytime a call is made to the <br/>
