IZ73422: SORTED XSL:FOR-EACH OVER TEMPLATE PARAM BROKEN IN XSLTC

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Error Message: N/A
  .
  Stack Trace: N/A
  .
  

Local fix

• Switching to the default XSLT interpreted processor using JAXP
  interface.
  1) Before calling TransformerFactory.newInstance(), use
  System.setProperty("javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory",
  
  "org.apache.xalan.processor.TransformerFactoryImpl"), and then
  restore
  its original value after a TransformerFactory is instantiated
  2) Instantiate org.apache.xalan.processor.TransformerFactoryImpl
  
  directly instead of using TransformerFactory.newInstance().
  This is
  not recommended, because this class is not part of the platform,
  but you
  could check for its existence, falling back to the usual method
  if it
  is not found.
  

Problem summary

• For the compiler (XSLTC), an xsl:for-each with an xsl:sort over
  a template parameter will not work because the
  org.apache.xalan.xsltc.dom.SortingIterator appears empty until
  it is initialized, and code is not generated to call the proper
  method to initialize it.
  

Problem conclusion

• This defect will be fixed in:
  5.0.0 SR12
  .
  Code has been modified to return sorted set of nodes.
  .
  To obtain the fix:
  Install build 20100332 or later
  

Temporary fix
