Here is a brief update -- the problem has been solved. To solve this I took the latest distribution of xalan and installed it to my local repository as version 2.7.0.1.jim and updated dependencies. Note: I also did this for xml-apis, xerces-impl, and I added the serializer.jar
Note: It looks like the central repository has a bad version (2.7.0) of xalan and not the real 2.7.0 release. Anyhow, by having the right jar files in my local repository and having them in the jdk endorsed folder I was able to get everything working.
