cougaar 12.4 and saxon 9

[Todd Wright]

Where is this exception being thrown?  Is it in
   org.cougaar.core.node.XSLTransformer.findXmlStylesheetTransformerHandler
http://cougaar.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/core/src/org/cougaar/core/node/XSLTransformer.java?annotate=1.4&cvsroot=core#390
?
If so, I can modify this method to return null if an exception is thrown.

Please reply with the exception stacktrace.

The Cougaar XSLT parser checks for an optional stylesheet tag in the XML file. 
  My understanding is that this tag is *optional*, since the user may want to 
apply different stylesheets to the same XML data file, in which case the 
stylesheet should be specified at runtime (as Cougaar does) instead of in the 
XML file.  I can't see why the new Saxon XSLT parser would throw an exception 
in this case.  Hopefully the stacktrace will help explain the problem.
