template rule xpath error

[John Meyer]

Title: Message

I have a rather lengthy template rule to selectively copy stylistic attributes. However, when I use this template rule, a java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException is thrown. I'm guess this is a bug because when I remove the template, the stylesheet runs and the full version will run under MSXML. As a side note, if anyone has any suggestions how to optimize this kind of operation within the scope of the stylesheet, I'd be appreciative as I will doing several similar operations in other stylesheets.

 

Thanks
