Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformations (XSLT) Processing with Java is an excerpt from the O'Reilly & Associates book XSLT Processing with Java, by Eric M. Burke.

The article begins with instructions on writing "the simplest program that can be written", which embeds an XSLT processor into a Java application. Two versions of the program are detailed, one for Xalan and one for SAXON. Burke then gives a thorough introduction to Java API for XML Parsing (JAXP) 1.1 and implements the program once more using JAXP.

Staying with JAXP, the tutorial then covers several Java and XSLT programming techniques that work with both servlets and standalone applications, including use of JAXP's XSLT Plugability Layer, bringing Java Document Object Model (JDOM) output into JAXP and other input/output tasks.
