TRAX and Xalan get confused when writing to a JspWriter

           Summary: TRAX and Xalan get confused when writing to a JspWriter
           Product: Tomcat 4
           Version: 4.1.27
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: Unknown
        AssignedTo: tomcat-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: bim2003@basistech.com


I've got JDK 1.4.1_01-b01 running on Linux RHAS 2.1.

I set up the TRAX API to format some data using an XSLT stylesheet.

I create a javax.xml.transform.stream.StreamResult passing the current JSP 
page's writer as the argument to the constructor. The XSLT sheet say 'encoding 
UTF-8', and the JSP page is a UTF-8 page.

All the the non-latin-1 characters are smashed to ?'s. If I create a 
StringWriter, point trax at that, and then write the resulting string to the 
JspWriter, all is well. This problem occurs with the Xalan that comes with the 
JDK and also with 2.5.1. If I use saxon, it does something more useful but 
still wrong -- it represents all the interesting characters as &#nnnnnn; 
sequences. 

I cannot produce any form of this bug with any writer except the JspWriter.
