Java XML transformation works :-)

here is the code snippet:
In the doView method of the portlet class

.......................................................................
public void doView(PortletRequest request, PortletResponse response) throws 
PortletException, IOException {
....
//   Source XML File
StreamSource xmlFile = new StreamSource(new File("xmlpath"));

//   Source XSLT Stylesheet
StreamSource xsltFile = new StreamSource(new File("xslpath"));

//   result html file path
File resultHTMLFile = new File(path+"resulthtmlpath");

if(resultHTMLFile.exists())
resultHTMLFile.delete();

StreamResult streamResult = new StreamResult(resultHTMLFile);

//   Get XML, apply Transformation, save results
TransformerFactory factory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
Transformer transformer = factory.newTransformer(xsltFile);
transformer.transform(xmlFile, streamResult);

getPortletConfig().getContext().include("resulthtmlpath", request, response)
;

}
