RE: Strange intermittent exceptions from Xalan

Hi Johannes,

I've found that it might be an issue with the way Xalan is being used by the
Appserver and permissions.  I've now changed the code to be:

InputStream is = xslURL.openStream ();
Transformer transformer = tFactory.newTransformer(new StreamSource(is));

This now works as the web application is then opening the stream (and not
StreamSource).  However, it still doesn't explain the intermittent failure,
but I am happy that it now loads the XSL correctly.

I could obtain the file and pass that, but the static XSL is packed up as a
Web Archive.  By requesting the file via HTTP it loads the XSL from the
archive and returns it back via HTTP.  

Thanks for your input and help.

Regards,
Peter
