Sounds like you don't have the "right" jar. Either Tomcat has an older one then Xindice needs or java does or it isn't there at all.
Since the class isn't found, then that means that all of the jars that java has and all the jars that tomcat has don't have your class. So, while I am trying to explain how to figure this out, it occurred to me that I know where the file is. There is a utility called JWhich.java that if you run it: java JWhich javax.xml.transform.TransformerException it will find the class in your classpath. What do you do if you it isn't in your classpath? Simplest way is to build a class path with every jar you have and then run JWhich against it. That will tell you which jar you need. Turns out that my dbXML/Xindice environment runs, so it is in my classpath, so your problem is that jaxp.jar isn't in a classpath that tomcat is using! Tomcat has some directory to drop in third-party jars and it will automatically add the jars to it. I don't know the name of the directory, but put the JAXP.jar in it :-).
