Stream Closed on xsl transformation

Hi Guys,

I'm having some strange problems with a stream being closed when I do an XSL transformation on an XML document that has an xml-stylesheet that is at a remote location.  If I instead put it locally, and and specify it as an xsltSource, it works fine.

I have also narrowed it down to the following working...
            final Document doc = stringToDocument((String) xml);
            logger.debug(documentToString(doc));
            xmlSource = new DOMSource(doc);

But not this...
            xmlSource = new StreamSource(new StringReader((String) xml));

Any ideas why this wouldn't work?

I get a stack trace like the following; where the final "Caused by" indicates it has a problem with the StringReader in the second example above.  But, my stringToDocument() method also does a StringReader.
