javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactoryConfigurationError: Provider for javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory cannot be found

           Summary: javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactoryConfigurationError
                    : Provider for javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory
                    cannot be found
           Product: XalanJ2
           Version: 2.3
          Platform: Sun
        OS/Version: Other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Major
          Priority: Other
         Component: Xalan
        AssignedTo: xalan-dev@xml.apache.org
        ReportedBy: jane.muse@indus.com


I get the following error when my program executes the following statement:

TransformerFactory tfactory1 = TransformerFactory.newInstance();

According to the Xalan 2.3.1 documentation at http://xml.apache.org/xalan-
j/usagepatterns.html - Basic Usage Patterns, I can plug in a transformer by 
modifying the system property setting in src/META-INF/services in xalan.jar. I 
did that. I changed the system property javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory 
to: javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory. The TransformerFactory class is in 
xml-apis.jar which I have in the /lib folder. I am running the web server app 
on Sun, and all my jar files are in /webapps/project name/WEB-INF/lib. The jar 
files are xerces.jar (Xerces version 1.4.3), xalan.jar (xalan version 2.3.1) 
and xml-apis.jar.

My web server is Tomcat version 3.x
