Using Xalan with the Sun Labs Brazil Technology

  I am trying to add support for XSL  to the Brazil technology using 
Xalan. There was an exisiting example suggesting a use with Brazil, 
which works very well. I need the ability to pass the parsed document  
down the handler/template/filter chain and perform additional processing 
on the text or I  might pre process before sending to Xalan to generate 
XML and or replace macros etc.  I have created a tag called
  <applyxsl xsl=birds.xsl .....>

      <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

      <Class>

      <Order Name="TINAMIFORMES">

              <Family Name="TINAMIDAE">

                  <Species Scientific_Name="Tinamus major">  Great

      Tinamou.</Species>

                  <Species Scientific_Name="Nothocercus">Highland

      Tinamou.</Species>

                  <Species Scientific_Name="Crypturellus soui">Little

      Tinamou.</Species>

                   ..............

  </applyxsl>


  When I read the xml file from a file using FileInptuStream everything 
works great when I provide the input using a String and StringReader I 
get the following exception. I am using the supplied birds.xsl example. 
Here is the code segment that fails....
          StringReader xmlStream = new StringReader(script);

          //FileInputStream xmlStream = new FileInputStream("doc/birds.xml");

          System.out.println( script );

          ByteArrayOutputStream output = new ByteArrayOutputStream();

          transformer.transform(new StreamSource(xmlStream), new 
StreamResult("x.out"));

The exception follows:

Thanks for your time.
