Description

Usage of TextFileDataSource causes the data to be parsed as XML. Therefore, characters having a special meaning, such as ampersands, will trigger parsing errors. This has significant impact on XSLTMediator when the output of the transformation is text data:

• When the volume of data is below the BYTE_ARRAY_SIZE threshold, the output is used to construct an OMText object directly and is not parsed as XML.
• When the volume is above the threshold, TextFileDataSource is used and the output is parsed as XML.
  Therefore transformations that work for small messages may suddenly fail for larger messages.
