points missed again, sorry! :-) 1: javax.xml.transform.Transformer has a setURIResolver(), so this is not adding stuff to xalan, this is using the javax.xml api.
2: it would NOT tie things down to xalan as ... again this is using the javax.xml api. 3: as i wrote in my email response to luke's orriginal request; the cocoon does not accept annything else than char/byte streams as source-handlers, javax.xml does. http is only a byte/char-stream and sometimes that might not be enough. mvh karl řie >I've been following this discussion.
