Transformer Error Using Xalan

Hi all,

I am using Xalan v2.5.1 in a servlet to transform an xml file using an xsl 
stylesheet and sending it back to the browser. I get the following error when I 
try to do this 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
The XML page cannot be displayed 
Cannot view XML input using style sheet. Please correct the error and then 
click the Refresh button, or try again later. 

Invalid at the top level of the document. Error processing resource "..."
Line 1, Position 39 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Both my XML and XSL documents did not have any encoding attributes in their XML 
declaration and I included it, but it still gives the same error.
If I use IE6 to view the XML, then it transforms using the included stylesheet 
without any problems ...

I came across this problem on the list before but couldnt find any solution to 
it. Could someone please shed any light on this !!

Thanks,
Priya
