Error in applying xsl

Question

Dear friends,
I met a problem when I try to use the OracleJSP JML taglib.
I use Window2000, Oracle8.1.7, Apache1.3.9, JServ1.x. And then, I use the sample code "Hello.jsp" and "Hello.xsl", which are provided by oracle. I also follow their instruction to configure. However, I got the following result:
JSP Error
Exception:
javax.servlet.jsp.JspException: Error applying stylesheet Hello.xsl
void ots.hello1._jspService(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest, javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse)
void oracle.jsp.runtime.HttpJsp.service(javax.servlet.ServletRequest,javax.servlet.ServletResponse)
void oracle.jsp.app.JspApplication.dispatchRequest(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest, javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse)
void oracle.jsp.JspServlet.doDispatch(oracle.jsp.app.JspRequestContext)
void oracle.jsp.JspServlet.internalService(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest, javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse)
void javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(javax.servlet.ServletRequest,javax.servlet.ServletResponse)
void org.apache.jserv.JServConnection.processRequest()
void org.apache.jserv.JServConnection.run()
void java.lang.thread.run()
Looking for your suggestions! Thanks a lot in advance!

One thing you could try to do is avoid using xpath like ".//" and "*".
I had many problems in terms of memory consuptiom and performance with xpaths like above.
Altrought you have a little more work to code your xslt it performs better, and probably you will write once and run many times.
