There is a limit that seems to come from the elementStack of ParentNode objects in org.apache.crimson.tree.XmlDocumentBuilder. That is where the following comment is located:

/**
     * Receive notification of the beginning of a document.
     */
    public void startDocument () throws SAXException
    {
document = createDocument ();

if (locator != null)
document.setSystemId (locator.getSystemId ());

//
        // XXX don't want fixed size limits! Fix someday. For
// now, wide trees predominate, not deep ones. This is
// allowing a _very_ deep tree ... we typically observe
// depths on the order of a dozen.
//
        elementStack = new ParentNode [200];
        topOfStack = 0;
        elementStack [topOfStack] = document;

inDTD = false;
    }

Upon further debugging, it appears to be in
org.apache.crimson.tree.XmlDocumentBuilder.startElement() at line 495 when we have to add a new node and there are already 200 nodes in the array elementStack which was created to have on 200 nodes in it.

elementStack[topOfStack++].appendChild(e);
elementStack[topOfStack] = e;

topOfStack is 200 comming in and the array can only hold 200.

This appears to be a parser limit that we cannot change, and does not appear to be changed in Java JDK 1.4.2_09 or _10.

We possibly could change the structure of our XML to not hit this limit.
