Hi I am using an InputStream to load my x.xsl file which contains an import statement which points to y.xsl. I am using getResourseAsStream() [from my java class which instantiates the Transformer] to load the x.xsl which is in my class path. The y.xsl is also in my classpath. But somehow the xalan complains that its not able to find it. What do I need to do to get it working. I will be working in EAR/JAR mode in weblogic server and wont have anything in the file system - all xsl files will be in the jar file. So I have to use getResourseAsStream() to load the xsl files. Any help is appreciated. thanks Anamitra
