Transforming XML in Java is achieved using a Transformer. To use an XSL file for the transformation involves first creating Templates instance which can then be used to create the required Transformer.

TransformerFactory factory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
Templates template = factory.newTemplates(
   new StreamSource(new FileInputStream(xslPath)));
Transformer transformer = template.newTransformer();
Source source = new StreamSource(new FileInputStream(xmlInputPath));
Result result = new StreamResult(new FileOutputStream(xmlOutputPath));
transformer.transform(source, result);
