[xsl] Translet Stability Issue

[Jeff Harman <jharman@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am having some stability problems with translets. On approxamitly 50%
of the translations I receive an error that I know is bogus.  The other 50%
of the time it works fine.  Any suggestions or fixes?

I am using the Xalan 2.4.1

I have precompiled my XSLs into class files using the following:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
java org.apache.xalan.xsltc.cmdline.Compile -d translets -p
com.websterbank.translets <xslfile>

The latest error is
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
         The element type "br" must be terminated by the matching end-tag
"</br>".

I execute the translets with the following code:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
public class PageBuilder { 

	TransformerFactory tFactory;
	boolean			   useTranslet ;
	
	public PageBuilder() {
		super();
		System.setProperty("javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory","org.apache.xalan.xsltc.trax.TransformerFactoryImpl");
		Log.write ( "PageBuilder.constructor: Factory" ) ;
		tFactory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
		cache = new Hashtable();
		useTranslet = true ;
	}
	
	public void handle (PrintWriter out, String stylesheet, Document
doc) {
		Log.write ( "PageBuilder.handle: XML DOM Data" ) ;
		DOMWriter wr = new DOMWriter () ;
		wr.write ( doc, new PrintWriter( Log.getLogStream()));

		if ( useTranslet ) 
			handle_translet ( out, stylesheet, doc ) ;
		else
			handle_translet ( out, stylesheet, doc ) ;
	}

	public void handle_translet (PrintWriter out, String stylesheet,
Document doc) {
		Log.write ( "PageBuilder.handle - translets" ) ;
		Log.write ( "PageBuilder.handle - translets: " + stylesheet  )
;

		String transName = stylesheet.substring(
stylesheet.lastIndexOf("/")+1,stylesheet.lastIndexOf(".")) ;
	    transName = "com.translets." + transName ;
		
		Translet translet = null ;
		
		try {
			Class transClass = Class.forName( transName ) ;
			translet         = (Translet)transClass.newInstance() ;
		} catch ( Exception e ) {
			Log.write ( "PageBuilder.handle - translets: Class
Lookup Failure - " + transName ) ;
		}
		
		if ( translet == null ) {
			handle_basic ( out, stylesheet, doc ) ;
		} else {
			Log.write ( "PageBuilder.handle - translets: Class - "
+ transName ) ;
			
			try {
				// Get the XML input document and the
stylesheet.
				Log.write ( "PageBuilder.handle - translets:
Constructors" ) ;
				DOMImpl dom              = new DOMImpl () ;
				SAXParserFactory factory =
SAXParserFactory.newInstance();
				SAXParser parser         =
factory.newSAXParser();
				XMLReader reader         =
parser.getXMLReader();
				DTDMonitor _dtdMonitor   = new
DTDMonitor();
				StringWriter writer      = new StringWriter () ;
				PrintWriter prWriter     = new PrintWriter (

				DOMWriter domWriter      = new DOMWriter
() ;
				
				Log.write ( "PageBuilder.handle - translets:

				domWriter.write( doc, prWriter ) ;
				String stringDOM = writer.toString() ;
				StringReader strReader = new StringReader
( stringDOM ) ;
				reader.setContentHandler( dom.getBuilder()
);
				reader.parse( new InputSource (strReader)
);
				DefaultSAXOutputHandler saxHandler =
new DefaultSAXOutputHandler(out);
				TextOutput textOut = new
TextOutput(saxHandler) ;
				
				textOut.setType ( TextOutput.HTML ) ;
				textOut.setIndent( false ) ;
				
				Log.write ( "PageBuilder.handle - translets:
Transforming" ) ;
				translet.transform( dom, textOut );
				Log.write ( "PageBuilder.handle - translets:
Done Transforming" ) ;
				
			} catch ( SAXParseException se ) {
				Log.write ( "PageBuilder.handle - translets:
Transform Error" ) ;
				Log.write ( "        " +  se.getMessage() ) ;
				Log.write ( "        at " +  se.getLineNumber()

			} catch ( Exception e ) {
				Log.write ( "PageBuilder.handle - translets:

				Log.write ( "        " +  e.toString() ) ;
			}
		}
	}

	public void handle_basic (PrintWriter out, String stylesheet,
Document doc) {
                  basic XSL translation.....
