Just to record the resolution:
Pointing directly to com.icl.saxon.TransformerFactoryImpl didn't work. That
class was loaded but methods invoked on the instance failed with
ClassNotFound.
We were reluctant to try the system property approach because we are
developing a commercial application and don't want to disrupt other apps a
customer may be running. Websphere, however, allows multiple instances of
the server, so our solution is to require that our application run in a
dedicated server instance where the system property can be set and will
effect only that instance.
I'm relieved that I don't have to give up Saxon. I'd been using Xalan for
the last three years but since switching recently to Saxon have had fewer
problems and faster performance.
Thanks.

To add some ideas (there may be drawbacks):
If you don't want to run the risk of other apps picking up the system
property, you can always try instantiating the Saxon TransformerFactory
directly:
replace
System.setProperty("javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory",
"com.icl.saxon.TransformerFactoryImpl");
TransformerFactory f = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
by
TransformerFactory f = new com.icl.saxon.TransformerFactory();
or if you don't want a compile-time reference to the class, you could
instantiate it dynamically using newInstance().
