Hi Scott,
thanks, that was the hint I needed, because I've already limited the
error to one of the xsl templates used.
After that I've tried to verify the transformation with Saxon and the
error message was very explicit and even included the line number in the
xsl file.
It was a very trivial error:
<xsl:when test="@Class='agency' or @Class='agency.instance'">
After @Class='agency I forgot to put the closing ' and the result was
the confusing xalan error message.
Now I know that it's a good approach to verify my stylesheets with Saxon
when Xalan generates strange error messages.
Thanks for your help!
Best regards,
Jens
