HELP, xalan and servlets

[Cheryl Stewart <ch...@cp.net>]

I am trying to run xalan on input XML and XSL files.  It works fine when I run it at the command line.  When I try to call it from my program (snippet below) - I get the following error:

  WebManagerServlet:init
  webservices.xml; Line -1; Column -1
  XSL Error: Could not parse webservices.xml document!
  XSL Error: SAX Exception

How do I specify the path for xalan to look for my XML and XSL files.  I tried moving them to the servets directory, but that did not work either.

Any help would be appreciated,

 Cheryl
