Fatal error during transformation: XPath expression containing '101' operators that exceeds the '100' limit set
Hello,
When running one of my transforms, I get the following error:
JAXP0801002: the compiler encountered an XPath expression containing '101' operators that exceeds the '100' limit set by 'FEATURE_SECURE_PROCESSING'.
This error was introduced when I upgraded from Oxygen XML Editor 24.1 to 26.1. It seems that this error comes from new FEATURE_SECURE_PROCESSING, which Oracle introduced in a recent update of their Java.
jdk.xml.xpathExprOpLimit Description: Limits the number of operators an XPath expression can contain. Default 100.
See: https://www.oracle.com/java/technologie ... notes.html
To fix the issue I need to add an argument like the following, but I do not know where to add it:
-Djdk.xml.xpathExprGrpLimit=0 -Djdk.xml.xpathExprOpLimit=0 -Djdk.xml.xpathTotalOpLimit=0 -
Has anyone else experienced this issue and do they know a solution?
Thank you,
D. Scott Reeves
