Usually what this error means is that you have a single xsl:template which is excessively complex. There's a Java limitation on how large a single method may be, and a template starts out as a single method. Xalan's code generation attempts to modularize excessively large functions, but it looks like this is a case where it couldn't do so.
You can work around that at the stylesheet level by moving some of the function out into a "subroutine" template invoked with xsl:call-template... or by replacing xsl:for-each loops with xsl:apply-template and additional templates (using a mode, if necessary, to distinguish this case). ______________________________________ "...
