RE: [xsl] XSLT/Java question

["Michael Kay" <mhk@xxxxxxxxx>]

Perhaps you invoked the processor using the -jar option? In this case,
Java ignores the classpath setting. Use the "java
com.icl.saxon.Stylesheet" option instead.

This is just one possibility. It's difficult to solve problems like this
remotely. It definitely means that Saxon has asked Java to load the
class and Java is saying it can't; but there could be any number of
reasons for that, from the information given.
