I may not have made my point clear enough then, but the issue is this: Error
messages in Orion are unreadable because they are written as INVALID XML
(see below). - I am a bit surprised JP is the only one who responded to this
mail... I consider it a serious bug if Orion returns error messages which
cannot make their way through XSL processing and reach the browser / the
system developer.
Has anyone on the list, who uses XSL, found a solution to this problem?

Randahl.... look in $orion\applications\YOUREAR\YOURWAR\yourpage.jsp
if you edit a .jsp in that dir and browse it, orion will recon the change,
recompile for you, voila!
no need to rebuild anything
