javax.xml.transform.TransformerException when path in redirect-extension gets too long

           Summary: javax.xml.transform.TransformerException when path in
                    redirect-extension gets too long
           Product: XalanJ2
           Version: 2.4Dx
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Windows NT/2K
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: javax.xml
        AssignedTo: xalan-dev@xml.apache.org
        ReportedBy: mendling@web.de


I use Xalan 2.4.1 and I receive this error while using redirect-extensions:
"XSLT Error (javax.xml.transform.TransformerException): DATE+2002-12-05+16-26-34
\Group_Root\BETA of myStuff_de\MIN X_1 Referenz 
Modell\Vertrieb\Kundenauftragsabwicklung (Standard)
\Kundenauftrag\Kundenauftragsbearbeitung\_ (Das System kann den angegebenen 
Pfad nicht finden)"
In brackets: "The System is unable to find the indicated path"

I tested:
I first checked whether there is a syntactical error in my path (forbidden 
characters, etc.). I used the redirect successful with a prefix of the path 
followed by "\_" as filename and I used the redirect successful with a suffix 
of the path.
Then I checked whether my path could be sohow "too" long. In the abve path you 
have 220 characters. It turned out that I also had the same error with 
different paths of a length of more than 160 (where I also successfully used 
pre- and suffixes of that path as described above).
Therefore, I conclude that there seems to be some limitation on the number of 
characters to be used as a path in the redirect extension.
Is it like that?
