/**
 * This servlet demonstrates how XSL transformations can be made available as
 * a web service. See the CompileServlet for an example on how stylesheets
 * can be pre-compiled before this servlet is invoked.
 *
 * Note that the XSLTC transformation engine is invoked through the JAXP
 * interface, using the XSLTC "use-classpath" attribute.  The
 * "use-classpath" attribute specifies to the XSLTC TransformerFactory
 * that a precompiled version of the stylesheet (translet) may be available,
 * and that that should be used in preference to recompiling the stylesheet.
