     Xalan-J doesn't provide any means of configuring the XML parser that 
it uses to parse a StreamSource.  If you need to configure your XML 
Parser, the right thing to do is to create an XMLReader, configure it the 
way you would like, and use a SAXSource object to pass the XMLReader and 
your InputSource to the Transformer.  For example,


import javax.xml.parsers.SAXParser;
import javax.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactory;

import javax.xml.transform.Transformer;
import javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory;
import javax.xml.transform.sax.SAXSource;
import javax.xml.transform.stream.StreamSource;
import javax.xml.transform.stream.StreamResult;

import org.xml.sax.XMLReader;
import org.xml.sax.InputSource;

public class Birds {

  public static final void main(String[] args) {
    SAXParserFactory spf = SAXParserFactory.newInstance();
    spf.setNamespaceAware(true);
    spf.setValidating(false);  // Turn off validation
    XMLReader rdr = spf.newSAXParser().getXMLReader();

    t.transform(new SAXSource(rdr, new InputSource("birds.xml")),
                new StreamResult("birds.out"));
  }
}

     I hope that helps.

Thanks,

Henry
