Well, it is an output stream from a servlet. The actual object is a 
PrintWriter.

  String xslFile = "test.xsl";
  PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
   StringReader sr = new StringReader(xml);

   //instantiate
   TransformerFactory tf = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
   //process style sheet
   try {
     Transformer t = tf.newTransformer(new StreamSource(xslFile));
     t.transform(new StreamSource(sr), new StreamResult(out));
   }

Any suggestions. I don't think I have done much wrong...
