Just, it seems you have to add the Serializer library in addtion:

java -cp 
/usr/share/java/xalan-j2.jar;/usr/share/java/xalan-j2-serializer.jar 
org.apache.xalan.xslt.Process ...
You might consider setting up the CLASSPATH environment variable 
instead of specifying -cp command-line option with every command, or 
just create a script with a much shorter name.
