There are certainly other tools, most notably the SAXON XSLT processor available from http://users.iclway.co.uk/mhkay/saxon. This can easily be substituted for Xalan because of the vendor-independence that JAXP offers.
All of the examples, as well as JAR files for the tools listed in
Table P-1, are available for download from
http://www.javaxslt.com and from the
O’Reilly web site at http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/javaxslt. The
included README.txt
file contains instructions
for compiling and running the examples.
