[jdom-interest] Using XSL with stylesheet coming from a URL

[Jason Long]

I have been using the following function to do XSL transform with JDOM.
Could someone please point me to an example of how to do this if the XSL is
generaled by JSP and needs to be read from a URL?

   public static Document transform(Document in, String stylesheet)
     throws JDOMException, Exception {
    try {
     Transformer transformer =
TransformerFactory.newInstance().newTransformer(new StreamSource(new
File(stylesheet)));
     JDOMResult out = new JDOMResult();
     transformer.transform(new JDOMSource(in), out);
     return out.getDocument();
   } catch (Exception e) {
     throw new JDOMException("XSLT Transformation failed", e);
   }
 }
