TransformerImpl.setExtensionsTable swallows TransformerException
----------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: XALANJ-2437
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XALANJ-2437
             Project: XalanJ2
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: transformation, Xalan
    Affects Versions: 2.7, 2.7.1
         Environment: Java
            Reporter: Geoff Wheeler
            Priority: Minor


When the method TransformerImpl.setExtensionsTable encounters a TransformerException is catches it and prints out the stack trace to err.  It seems like it would be better to throw this exception to allow the end user to handle it as they see fit.

In our experience we encountered an error stemming from invalid embedded Java code being included in a transform.  The exception caught by TransformerImpl.setExtensionsTable contains extremely useful information as to the to cause and location of the problem.  Another exception does get thrown later on, but it is just a NullPointerException that doesn't contain any information as to the original cause of the problem.
