Description

Occurs in method newTransformerHandler(Templates templates). There is a cast to TransformerImpl. There is more than one class shipped in the xalan jar that subclasses javax.xml.transform.Transformer.

The background to this is that I created the Templates object using a different TransformerFactory (also a Xalan factory).
The factory used to create the templates object was created using:
javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory#newInstance()
The factory used to create the transformer handler object was created using:
javax.xml.transform.SAXTransformerFactory#newInstance()
