Unless you set up a servlet or JSP to process the xml file using a specified xsl file by explicitly invoking Xalan on it, all that will happen is that the xml file will be served to your browser and the transformation, if it is going to happen, will happen on the client side.
Actually, both IE5.5+ and Mozilla should be able to transform it on the client side, but this has nothing at all to do with Tomcat. tomcat is just serving both files as static content. Oh, keep in mind that the server has to serve up xml and xsl files as "text/xml", otherwise no transformation will take place (at least in Mozilla which is strict, as it should be, about stuff like that).
