XSLTC Causes NoSuchFieldError if global variable is unused
----------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: XALANJ-2325
                 URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XALANJ-2325
             Project: XalanJ2
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: XSLTC
    Affects Versions: 2.7
         Environment: Windows 2003, JRE 1.4.
            Reporter: Fred Kruesi


If one has a style sheet that imports other style sheets which further include 
other style sheets and the last imported style sheet does not use a global 
variable it declared, XSLTC discards the variable even though it is used by 
other sheets. This leads to a NoSuchFieldError when the sheet is used. 
Following is a schematic view of the sheets. The actual sheets are in a test 
case.

foo.xsl:
  <xsl:import href="imported/import1.xsl"/> 
  <xsl:import href="imported/import2.xsl"/> 

  <xsl:template match="bar:element">
     Value of info: <xsl:value-of select="info"/>
     Value of my-var from import: <xsl:call-template name="import1.xsl"/>
     Value of my-var from import: <xsl:call-template name="import2.xsl"/> 
  </xsl:template>

imported/import1.xsl:
  <xsl:include href="../inc1/inc1a.xsl"/>
  
  <xsl:template name="import1.xsl">
       From import1 my-var: <xsl:value-of select="$my-var"/>
  </xsl:template>

imported/import2.xsl:
  <xsl:include href="../inc1/inc1a.xsl"/> 
  
  <xsl:template name="import2.xsl">
       From import2 my-var:
  </xsl:template>

../inc1/inc1a.xsl
  <xsl:variable name="my-var"> 
                <Data code="Y">
                        <Desc>Yes</Desc>
                </Data>
                <Data code="N">
                        <Desc>No</Desc>
                </Data>
  </xsl:variable>               

Note that imported/import2 does declares, but does not use "my-var". When run, 
the following trace is produced:

java.lang.NoSuchFieldError: my$dash$var

  at com.gmaci.xsl.foo.template$dot$2()

  Exception in thread "main"

An obvious work-around is to ensure all global variables are used. A patch is 
attached. The thrust of the patch is to discard unused local variables, but not 
to discard any global variables.

A test case can be provided. In order to use the test case you need to add the 
following jars to the lib folder of the project.
    xalan
    jdom
    serializer
    resolver
    xlm-apis
    xercesImpl
    xsltc
    
To run the test, execute the Ant script.
