public class Transform
extends java.lang.Object

This Transform class is the entry point to the Saxon XSLT Processor. This class is provided to control the processor from the command line.

The XSLT syntax supported conforms to the W3C XSLT 1.0 and XPath 1.0 recommendation. Only the transformation language is implemented (not the formatting objects). Saxon extensions are documented in the file extensions.html

  followed by any number of parameters in the form {keyword=value}... which can be referenced from within the stylesheet.

  This program applies the XSL style sheet in style-file to the source XML document in source-file.

  Parameters:
    `args` - List of arguments supplied on operating system command line
  Throws:
    `java.lang.Exception` - Indicates that a compile-time or run-time error occurred

### setFactoryConfiguration

    protected void setFactoryConfiguration()

  Set the configuration in the TransformerFactory. This is designed to be overridden in a subclass
