Thank you for the suggestion. The StreamTransform seemed to very close
to what I was trying to do. However, since I just wanted to get a
XalanDocument*, I tried using XalanTransformer::parseSource. This is
what I ended up with:
///////////////////////////////////
XalanSourceTreeInit theSourceTreeInit;
string testXML("<TESTING></TESTING>");
istringstream theXMLStream(testXML);
XSLTInputSource theInputSource(&theXMLStream);
theInputSource.setSystemId(XalanDOMString("foo").c_str());
XalanDefaultParsedSource parsedSource(theInputSource); //Throws unknown
exception
XalanParsedSource* parsedSourcePtr = &parsedSource;
theXalanTransformer.parseSource(theInputSource, parsedSourcePtr);
XalanDocument* xDoc = parsedSourcePtr->getDocument();
//////////////////////////////////////////////
The line indicated throws an (unkown) exception. I have used a
Xalan/Xerces/XPath to get data out of files before, but parsing a
string/stream is giving me problems. Any advice or corrections would be
appreciated.

Take a look at the StreamTransform sample. Basically, you can use any
std::istream-derived class as input for the source tree or the
stylesheet.
