Local fix

  • The user could work around the problem by using the XSLT
    interpreter processor by specifying the Java system property
    javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory with the value
    "org.apache.xalan.processor.TransformerFactoryImpl"
    

Problem summary

  • In formatting a number using the format-number function, the
    processor is splitting the value into its integer and fractional
    components.  It is extracting the integer component by casting
    the value to a Java int, which causes values that are outside
    the range of a Java int from being formatted correctly.
    

Problem conclusion

  • This defect will be fixed in:
    6.0.0 SR9
    .
    Fixed. The problem was resolved by extracting the integer
    portion of any value that is being formatted using a
    representation that is capable of representing all the digits of
    the integer portion.
    .
    To obtain the fix:
    Install build 20100930 or later
