Daniel,

I checked the Xalan source code (version 2_7_1) and this error message (or at least one that matches it) is generated by Xalan, specifically in the org/apache/xalan/processor/XSLTAttributeDef.java class. It seems to be failing when attempting to use the setMethod() method, which by my best guess, is a method of the class representing the <xsl:output> tag in some XSLT stylesheet somewhere. Note that <xsl:output> has a "method" attribute, which Xalan translates to a method named "setMethod" of the corresponding attribute object; this method is then used to set the value of the attribute. So in essence Xalan is failing to set the value of the "method" attribute of <xsl:output>. I have no idea why.

If you're not using Xalan directly, then something in the framework you're using must be doing it. Check this website: http://vaclavb.blogspot.com/2010/02/xslt-using-xalan-on-google-app-engine.html which seemed to give some useful hints in the right direction. It certainly seems to be related to the interaction between Google App Engine and Xalan.

Good luck,
Nathan

Hi,

I'm developing an web application (using Java) on the Google App Engine...

The thing is the my logs are full of this weird stderr message

<stderr>: SystemId Unknown; Line #57; Column #31; Failed calling setMethod method

I did googled a lot and asked this question on many places, but no one knew the reason why

and recently I bumped into several posts with similar stderr that was caused by Xalan , the stderr were of the same structure :

<stderr>: SystemId Unknown; Line #XXX ; Column #YYY; Failed calling setMethod method

So I was wondering... any chance that the stderr message that I'm getting is cause by Xalan?

I'm not making explicit use of Xalan, by I have added the following files o the lib folder (in order to run JSF2 application on GAE)

* serializer.jar * xalan.jar
    * xercesImpl.jar
    * xml-apis.jar
    * xsltc.jar


Help will be much appreciated...


Regards,

Daniel.
