Hi, I am transforming a large (6000+K) XML document using xalan 2.0.1. The file is parsed using xerces 2.0.1. Performing the transform in various environments including the WebSphere Test Environment (in VAJ 4.0) and Tomcat 4.1 takes less than 2.5 minutes consistently. However, performing the transform in the WebSphere 5.0.1 Enterprise environment takes anywhere from 5 to 7 minutes consistently, and the procesing power of the WebSphere 5.0.1 Enterprise environment surpasses that of the others. I am quite sure that I am using the identical xalan and xerces versions in all environments (I have replaced the default xml libraries for the application server provided with WebSphere 5.0.1 Enterprise environment as described in http://www.developer.ibm.com/tech/faq/individual/0,,2:25082,00.html ). I have gone as far as to put trace messages inside the xalan TransformerImpl class to verify that the right class is being loaded and used.
Does anyone have any idea why this might be happening? Environment: WebSphere 5.0 Enterprise Edition (fixpack 5.0.1 applied) Xalan version: 2.0.1 Xerces version: 2.0.1 Thanks, Eric Chijioke
