Yesterday I started upgrading a framework I maintain from Xalan 1 to 
Xalan 2 (2.2.D9). Everything went just fine until I started replacing my 
XSLTInputSource usage. I'm sure this is merely user error on my part, 
but I'm having a hard time figuring out where the problem is.

Basically, I am trying to load the file 
http://localhost:8000/servlet/ui.xsl.

Using Xalan 1 I would parse the XSL file into a DOM tree, then use the 
DOM tree later to generate HTML. Loading my XSL file in Xalan 1 looked 
like:

       String xslFile =
         
event.getConfig().getServletContext().getInitParameter("xsl.document");
       DOMParser parser = new DOMParser();
       parser.parse(new XSLTInputSource(xslFile));
       xslDocument = parser.getDocument();

Moving to Xalan 2 I now use StreamSource, Transformer, and 
TransformerFactory. My code for loading the XSL file looks like:

       String xslFile =
         
event.getConfig().getServletContext().getInitParameter("xsl.document");
       TransformerFactory factory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
       transformer = factory.newTransformer(new StreamSource(xslFile));

My source code using Xalan 1 works fine, and has for about 8 months. 
With Xalan 2, OTOH, I get the following error:

javax.xml.parsers.ParserConfigurationException: Namespace not supported 
by SAXParser

        <snip>

I am confused by the error. I think what the error is reporting is the 
fact that StreamSource cannot load http: protocols. That, or I am doing 
something wrong. In either case, after several hours debugging, the 
clue-o-meter is still dangerously close to zero, so any help would be 
appreciated. TIA.
