template rule xpath error

[John Meyer <jm...@cstlink.com>]

I have a rather lengthy template rule to selectively copy stylistic
attributes. However, when I use this template rule, a
java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException is thrown. I'm guess this is a bug
because when I remove the template, the stylesheet runs and the full version
will run under MSXML. As a side note, if anyone has any suggestions how to
optimize this kind of operation within the scope of the stylesheet, I'd be
appreciative as I will doing several similar operations in other
stylesheets.
 
Thanks
 
John
