XOM API for Processing XML with Java

[Wolfgang Hoschek <whoschek AT lbl.gov>]

Thinking about this some more, a better way would probably be to give 
as as input a TransformerFactory rather than a Templates. This would be 
straightforward once the deprecated methods are fully removed, along 
the following lines:

    public XSLTransform(Document stylesheet) throws XSLException {
        //this(new XOMSource(stylesheet));
        this(stylesheet, null);
    }


	 public XSLTransform(Document stylesheet, TransformerFactory factory) 
throws XSLException {
        if (factory == null) {
                        try {
                                factory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
                        } catch (TransformerFactoryConfigurationError error) {
                                throw new XSLException(
                                                "Could not locate a TrAX 
TransformerFactory", error);
                        }
                }

                try {
                        this.templates = factory.newTemplates(new 
XOMSource(stylesheet));
                } catch (TransformerConfigurationException ex) {
                        throw new XSLException("Syntax error in stylesheet", 
ex);
                }
        }
