newbie to xalan servlet, help please ?

I am trying to get the XSLT servlet 'DefaultApplyXSL' to do XSL Transforms
on the Orion app. server. I have my filters correctly set up to send any xml
media-type to the servlet, that works fine. If I do
http://localhost/1.xml?xslURL=/html1.xsl then the transform works fine.
However if I do http://localhost/1.xml and try to get the servlet to pick
the xsl file to use from the xml file I get the following reply:

500 Internal Server Error
Exception occurred during Transformation:
Parsing XML-Document from request chain
calling getXSLURLfromDoc and getMedia explorer
Parsing XSL Stylesheet Document from XML Document tag:
http://localhost/html1.xsl
Parsing XML-Document from request chain
The root element is required in a well-formed document.

It looks to me like it is correctly picking up the html1.xsl file from the
reference in the 1.xml file, but the transformation isn't working. This I
dont understand. The transformation works, the servlet mapping works, the
picking the xsl file reference out of the xml file works, they just wont all
work together.

I have included below my xml and xsl files.
I am very new to the xml and xsl game, and realise that I may be missing
something very basic, sorry to waste people's time if I am.

I would very much appreciate any hints on how to get this working.

Thanks
