xalan:nodeset() not working with the compiled XSLTC but works with the interpretive xalan

[Sushant Sinha]

I am using xalan 2.7.1 for transforming an xml document using an xsl
stylesheet. I have attached the input xml as example.xml and the rule as
rule.xsl.

rule.xsl uses xalan extension function xalan:nodeset() and the
transformation runs fine with the interpretive xalan. However, it fails when
the property  avax.xml.transform.
TransformerFactory is set to
org.apache.xalan.xsltc.trax.TransformerFactoryImpl

It actually produces a java exception with the following stack:

ERROR:  'Invalid conversion from 'node-set' to 'java.lang.String'.'
Exception in thread "main" javax.xml.transform.TransformerException:
java.lang.RuntimeException: Invalid conversion from 'node-set' to

Is this a bug in the compiled xsltc processor? Or is there a usage issue?

Thanks,
Sushant.
