we discovered that the setup() method of a custom generator is sometimes called twice in one request.
Are you sure that it is only one request. For example using the Acrobat Reader in IE results in two requests.
in fact, it seem to happens only if the generator is applied to a document that is an XSL stylesheet.
What does this mean?
Is it normal that setup() is called more than once per request, or may it be a bug?
For normal circumstances this sounds a bit weird indeed :)
Can the problem be related to the caching mechanism? (The custom generator is cacheable; and between the two setup() calls the caching methods were called, see above)
AFAIK the caching calls are ok up to the first getValidity. I don't know why it is called twice.
Our XSL stylesheets usually include other stylesheets. As far as I know, the caching mechanism takes this into account. May the problem have something to do with that?
In the past the problem was more in the other direction: Cocoon did not detect all changes to included stylesheets, only a change to the root stylesheet caused a reload. So I don't think this causes the problem - but you never know ;)
