Xalan supports the JAXP interface. It will probably load whatever parser is
identified by the javax.xml.parsers.SAXParser system property.

If you want to be more specific, you can write a URIResolver, which will be
called to process the URI passed to the document() function. Your
URIResolver can return a SAXSource object which contains a parser; the XSLT
processor will use this parser to process the supplied document. This allows
you to pre-configure the parser with the options you want, for example
switching validation on or off, and your code should work with any
JAXP-conformant XSLT processor.
