i suspect this posting belongs on xalan-dev, where i had originally sent it
before foolishly realizing that i'm not on its subscription list :(
while i'm attempting to subscribe there, if anyone has any help to offer on
the following question i'd be grateful.  thanks...hl

Subject:        inconsistent results with xalan-j 2

i'm using xalan-j 2.1.0 with the redirect extension to parse an xml file and
produce 5 redirected output files.  each time i run the parser with the same
xml and xsl files i get different results. (yeah, i know you're skeptical.
but i have witnesses :(   )  sometimes the file is successfully parsed.
sometimes i the parser thows an exception reporting the following useless
message:

XSLT Error (javax.xml.transform.TransformerException): TRaX Transform
Throwable

very occasionally a line number is reported, and it seems always to be on
one of the 5 xsl statements that looks as follows:

<redirect:write file="some_name.html">

this write statement is part of a section which repeats in my stylesheet and
looks as follows:

<xsl:template match="article[@storyorder=1]">
        <xsl:if test="@source='some value'">
        <redirect:write file="some_name.html">
        <![CDATA[<a href="javascript:var open_child_window=window.open
('someurl_]]><xsl:value-of select="//sitepartner"
/><![CDATA[.asp?id=]]><xsl:value-of select="filename"/><![CDATA[','mp'
,'height=460,width=520');"><img src="someurl/]]
><xsl:value-of select="filename"/><![CDATA[.jpg" width="92" height="69
" border="0" alt="somealtname"><br><FONT size="2" face="Arial, tahoma"
 color="#2e6890">]]><xsl:value-of select="headline"/><![CDATA[</a>]]>
        </redirect:write>
        </xsl:if>

        <xsl:if test="@source='some other value'">
        <redirect:write file="some_other_name.html">
        <![CDATA[<a href="javascript:var open_child_window=window.open
('someotherurl_]]><xsl:value-of select="//sitepartner"
/><![CDATA[.asp?id=]]><xsl:value-of select="filename"/><![CDATA[','mp'
,'height=460,width=520');"><img src="someotherurl/]]
><xsl:value-of select="filename"/><![CDATA[.jpg" width="92" height="69
" border="0" alt="someotheraltname"><br><FONT size="2" face="Arial, tahoma"
 color="#2e6890">]]><xsl:value-of select="headline"/><![CDATA[</a>]]>
        </redirect:write>
        </xsl:if>
                ...
  </xsl:template>

does anyone see what's wrong here?  this application is harvesting data from
an external source and producing html for a production system.  i can't use
this product in a production system if it behaves unreliably, and i've got a
launch coming up in a week.
i would be grateful for any feedback.  thanks in advance...hl
