Error description

• XSL maps used by the XSLT mediation primitive and BPEL object
  mapper are precompiled on deploy-time (or on first use in dev
  mode) and then cached for reuse. In some instances the
  precompiled versions could not be found, or the cache was not
  reset after module restart, resulting in slow response times
  when a map was recompiled, and updates to a map not being found
  since the old cached version was still available. This fix
  ensures that the precompilation info is correctly available, and
  module caches are no longer available after a module restart.
  
  
  Corrects issues after new caching from IC91519 is included in
  the product. This causes servers to need to be restarted to pick
  changes to data maps in BPEL or XSLT changes.

  USERS AFFECTED:
  Users of Business Process Manager v8 who use XSL transforms.
  
  ****************************************************************
  PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
  When using XSL transforms the maps are cached for later use.
  There were issues whereby this was not happening correctly with
  the effect that some apps using XSL transforms would run slow
  while other apps would see updates to the maps not being picked
  up after a module restart.
  

Problem conclusion

• The code was modified such that the XSL caching code was
  improved.
  
  This code fix was targeted to be included in the following fix
  packs:
