Mark Wielaard: New GPG key.
Finally created a new GPG key using gnupg. The old one was a DSA/1024 bits one and 8 years old. The new one is a RSA/2048 bits one. I will use the new one in the future to sign any release tarballs I might create. pub 2048R/57816A6A 2011-01-29 Key f...

Pimp Your GlassFish: Replacing XSL transformer in GF v2ur2
There are times when things hurt so much that you feel urged to blog about them once solved. This is one of them.
Our company is using XSL heavily for reporting (generating vector charts in PDFs on the fly from data analyzed by GlassFish), so it is not very amazing that we found some bugs in the XSL transformer (a.k.a "JAXP Implementation") contained in GlassFish. As we're not so fast as we would like to be, "our" GlassFish (actually there are dozens, as we are an ISV providing GF to our customers) still is v2ur2, but not v3 yet. So it is not surprising that the XSL transformer is not the latest (and such best maintained) one.
But we had been rather astonished by some other things.
First, it is rather strange that Sun's JRE 1.6.0_17 comes with a copy of XALAN that doesn't have the "latest" fixes found on XALAN's web site. In fact, XALAN itself is not very up-to-date, as latest 2.7.1 was release in November 2007 already. So Sun's JRE contains bugs that are actually fixed since more than two years now. Nobody found the time to migrate the fixes into com.sun.org.apache till today. Sad, bute true. I just filed a bug report to get things done (hopefully) soon. Blame it on the Oracle deal, but it's everything but not smart that the most modern JVM comes with a buggy copy while there is a fixed one available for more than two years.
