Change it to

>   spf.setNamespaceAware(true);
>   SAXParser parser = spf.newSAXParser();
>   reader = parser.getXMLReader();
>   stf = (SAXTransformerFactory) TransformerFactory.newInstance();

>   StreamResult result = new StreamResult(response.getWriter());
>   Transformer transformer = stf.newTransformer(new
StreamSource(stylesheet));
>   SAXSource transformSource = new SAXSource(reader, input);
>   transformer.transform(transformSource, result);
