Description

Using the attached SS, in WSAD, the first time I invoke it, I got the
java.lang.StackOverflowError exception.

The second time I invoke it, I got this instead:
javax.xml.transform.TransformerException: java.lang.NullPointerException
file://f:/eclipse/workspace/XMLTransformProject/address/dtd/infiniteLoop.xsl
Line0; Column0

I am not sure why I cannot get back the same StackOverflow exception.

I've tried the method setRecursionLimit to 20 and 100, but there is no effect.
