Re: xalan usage in taglibs

is there any way that i can get the correct xalan at runtime?

to recap this is the code that is blowing up for me:
Reader xsl = new InputStreamReader(filepath.openStream());
TransformerFactory transformerfactory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
StreamSource ssXsl = new StreamSource(xsl);
ssXsl.setSystemId(filepath.toExternalForm());
Templates templates = transformerfactory.newTemplates(ssXsl);
Transformer transformer = templates.newTransformer();

last line causes:
java.lang.ClassCastException: org.apache.xml.dtm.ref.DTMManagerDefault 
cannot be cast to org.apache.xml.dtm.DTMManager
     at org.apache.xml.dtm.DTMManager.newInstance(DTMManager.java:137)

org.apache.xalan.transformer.TransformerImpl.<init>(TransformerImpl.java:397)
     at 
org.apache.xalan.templates.StylesheetRoot.newTransformer(StylesheetRoot.java:200)

maybe you know some way to find the Impl with the correct DTMManager?
