#353 html/chunk.xsl producing too big Java-methods
I'm using the xslt ant-task with XSLTC included in
Suns JDK 1.5.0_06, meaning Xalan-J 2.6.0 and XSLTC 1.4
<xslt basedir="doc/users-guide"
destdir="${jar.location}/doc/users-guide"
style="C:\Programme\DocBook\XSL\1.69.1\html\chunk.xsl"
includes="users-guide.xml">
<xmlcatalog>
<dtd publicId="-
//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.2//EN"
location="C:\Programme\DocBook\XML\4.2
\docbookx.dtd" />
</xmlcatalog>
</xslt>
The Stylesheet gets compiled fine, but if it then
should be loaded there is an error because the
generated class-file is invalid. This is, because the
method "applyTemplate" exceeds the 65535 byte method-
size-limit.
Could the Stylesheets pleases be reworked, so that it
works with XSLTC?

You should report this problem to XSLTC developers. XSLT
does not impose any size limits on template length.

They know about the problem. And I know that XSLT says
nothing about the size limit of a template. The problem is
the JavaVM-spec which says that 65535 bytes is the maximum
method-size. And big and complex stylesheets exceed this
limit after compilation.
So the DocBook XSL Stylesheets lock out all XSLTC-Users
because they cant use the Stylesheets. :-( And a reordering
of the Templates could solve the problem.

Not a stylesheets bug.

As Mike points out, this is not a stylesheet bug. Moving to the Feature Request tracker.
By the way, there is a patch that is supposed to resolve most of the 64KB method size limitation problems: http://osdir.com/ml/text.xml.xalan.cvs/2006-04/msg00007.html.
