I will try the newer version of Xalan and let you know of my results. This won't be for another week or so, due to other constraints. Interestingly, I took a serialized version of the document and applied my style sheet using org.apache.xalan.xslt.Process and DID NOT get the exception. I only get it when I am requesting the corresponding web page via Tomcat. Thanks for the responses, and I'll keep you informed.

You might want to test whether your application fails under the new code.
