Question

I am using Transformer to perform XSL transformation from XML to XHTML:

import javax.xml.transform.Transformer;
import javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory;
import javax.xml.transform.stream.StreamResult;
import javax.xml.transform.stream.StreamSource;
// ...
Transformer transformer = TransformerFactory.newInstance()
  .newTransformer(/* xsl */);
transformer.transform(new StreamSource(xml), new StreamResult(xhtml));

In this code I should explicitly provide XSL file. In my situation I don’t know which file should be used. Instead, I want the transformer to get this information from <?xsl-stylesheet?> processing instruction in the original XML. Is it possible to do with JDK6 and Saxon?

Answer 1

Xalan can do that, check this.
Probably Saxon as well as it is method of javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory: getAssociatedStylesheet
