Hi, Andrew,

Thanks for that hint, I wasn't aware of that system property "javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory". But I haven't used that yet, so it still must be the xalan transformer I'm using. What else may be the cause for my problem?

Ciao!
Kai

I wouldn't call that "strange" at all. The two JDKs have completely
different XSLT engines, and they have different sets of bugs (Xalan vs
XSLTC).

Doesn't it depend on how the transformation was invoked? If it was using JAXP then Xalan would still be used:

Afaik, you have to be explicit if you want to use xsltc.
