XSL Transform Problem: Seeing "SAXParseException: Content is not allowed in prolog"

[Dan Barron]

Hello,

I'm seeing an SAXParseException when I am trying to do a simple xml 
transform inside a simple jsp file.  I see the exception:

"SAXParseException: Content is not allowed in prolog"

I have checked the prolog in both the xml and xsl files and there are no 
extra characters.  I can run the transform from the command line with no 
errors and it works fine.

Any one have any clues on this problem they would like share?

Included below is my environment, test.xml file, test.xsl file, test.jsp 
file, the command line transform, and the tomcat log otput of the exception.

Thanks!
