XSLT processor

There are certainly other tools, most notably the SAXON XSLT processor available from http://users.iclway.co.uk/mhkay/saxon. This can easily be substituted for Xalan because of the vendor-independence that JAXP offers.

All of the examples, as well as JAR files for the tools listed in Table 0-1, are available for download from http://www.javaxslt.com and from the O'Reilly web site at http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/javaxslt. The included README.txt file contains instructions for compiling and running the examples.
