Re: problem using Xalan from within a servlet

["Sia Rahimi" <sia_rahimi at hotmail dot com>]

I use the same technique which works with tomcat as well as JServ.

xsltInput = new XSLTInputSource(new FileInputStream(xmlfile));
XSLTProcessor processor = XSLTProcessorFactory.getProcessor();
processor.process(
    xsltInput,
    new XSLTInputSource(new FileInputStream(stylesheet)),
    new XSLTResultTarget(response.getOutputStream()));

However, appart form classpath issues you have mentioned, one thing that I 
had to do was to pass the file names with full paths to the processor using:

xmlfile = getServletContext().getRealPath(xmlfile);

Hope this helps.  If it doesn't, then we can look at the configurations.
