How to force use of SAXON xslt processor?

[Collin VanDyck]

I've got a simple Java program:

public class Test {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("xalan class: " +

org.apache.xalan.processor.TransformerFactoryImpl. newInstance().getClass().g
etName());
System.out.println("saxon class: " +

com.icl.saxon.TransformerFactoryImpl.newInstance() .getClass().getName());
}
}

Whose output is:

xalan class: org.apache.xalan.processor.TransformerFactoryImpl
saxon class: org.apache.xalan.processor.TransformerFactoryImpl

It seems like Xalan has taken over my computer.

I do not have any classes in my jre/lib/endorsed, yet I cannot even get
saxon's transformer factory to reutrn a saxon transformer factory instance.
I want to be able to hot swap transformers in my application -- is there
something I am missing here?

Many thanks for any help.

Ok I just got it to work setting the system property
"javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory". Thanks for reading my post :)
