Taglibs (both Apache and Glassfish) has always had a dependency on =
Xalan. My understanding is that TomEE did not include it and so broke =
users that use the XML tags. If so, TomEE should fix that.

You can probably add Xalan to your TomEE installation somehow to work =
around it but how to do that is really a question for the TomEE users =
list.

A patch for Taglibs that removes the Xalan dependency and doesn't =
regress the #27717 performance fix would be great. A patch that removed =
the dependency but regressed performance would have to be evaluated at =
the time. The previous decision was not to do that.
