Camel 2.15.1 XSLT returning only the closing tags

[Boba]

I am trying to do a really simple xml to xml transformation using the xslt
uri, I have dumbed it down so the input and transformed messages are
basically the same to try and work this out...
I used stylus studio to create the xml to xml mapping (I'm not knowledgeable
in xslt) 
<?xml version='1.0' ?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
        <xsl:output method="xml" encoding="UTF-8" indent="yes"/>
        <xsl:template match="/">
                <Message>
                        <element1>
                                <xsl:value-of select="Message/element_1"/>
                        </element1>
                        <element2>
                                <xsl:choose>
                                        <xsl:when test="Message/Type = 
1">Request</xsl:when>
                                        <xsl:otherwise>End</xsl:otherwise>
                                </xsl:choose>
                        </element2>
                        <element3>
                                <xsl:value-of select="Message/element_3"/>
                        </element3>
                        <element4>
                                <xsl:value-of select="Message/element_4"/>
                        </element4>
                        <element5>
                                <xsl:value-of select="Message/element_5"/>
                        </SessionID>
                        <element6>
                                <xsl:value-of select="Message/element_6"/>
                        </element6>
                </Message>
        </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

It works well running camel standalone on my windows vm but when I deploy to
Tomcat7 on oracle java 8 (now and 7 previously) on ubuntu 14.04 32bit VM
server, the bulk of the response is just close tags i.e.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Message>
 <element1/>
 <element2>End</element2>
 <element3/>
 <element4/>
</Message>

I use the Camel spring XML DSL and am referencing the xsl files from the
local 

<to uri="xslt:file:///home/xsltfiles/ssTestsheet1.xsl"/>

There are a few posts that suggest a number of options including using the
xalan transformer factory
<to
uri="xslt:///home/xsltfiles/ssTestsheet1.xsl?transformerFactory=transformerFactory"/>
 

or saxon
<to uri="xslt:///home/xsltfiles/ssTestsheet1.xsl?saxon=true"/> 

I added the relevant dependencies in my POM
        <dependency>
           <groupId>org.apache.camel</groupId>
           <artifactId>camel-saxon</artifactId>
           <version>${camel-version}</version>
         </dependency>

         <dependency>
           <groupId>xalan</groupId>
           <artifactId>xalan</artifactId>
           <version>2.7.1</version>
         </dependency>

I have also tried, as suggested by one post, converting the body to
java.io.InputStream just before the XSLT
<convertBodyTo type="java.io.InputStream"/>

So I have been at this solidly over the week-end and today... I can't see
what is wrong

Any help ...please
