XSLTInputSource

[Hans Gill <ha...@rhinosystemsinc.com>]

I know this is not the right place to ask, but i am not sure where else
to go. I used to have xalan_1_0_1 now i use the latest release. the
problem is that i can no longer use a full path to access an xml file.
    For example:
      String filepath ="c:\\home\\mysite\\";
       XSLTInputSource file = new
XSLTInputSource(filePath+"statement.xml");

i recieve an error saying
    XSL Error: Could not parse C:\home\mysite\statement.xsl document!
    XSL Error: Sax Exception.

I Know that the file exists there so it should be able to find it.
Xalan_1_0_1 was able to find the file using the same syntax but now i am

not able to. Does anyone know the SOLUTION for telling the
XSLTInputSource the path to file?

PLEASE HELP
