Attaching/Linking XSL Question

Question

Hi,
How can I attach/link an XSL file in an XML document that I'm currently creating/forming (using TransformerHandler)?
Here's the code:
try
       mTransformerHandler = mSAXTransformerFactory.
               newTransformerHandler(new StreamSource(new File(
               "D:\\tempTransform.xsl")));                     
       mTransformerHandler.setResult(new StreamResult(
               new File("c:\\tmp.xml")));
       Transformer trans = mTransformerHandler.getTransformer();
       trans.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.ENCODING, "SHIFT_JIS");
       mTransformerHandler.startDocument();               
       mTransformerHandler.startElement("tag1","tag1", "tag1", new
               AttributesImpl());
       String str = "sample char";
       mTransformerHandler.characters(str.toCharArray(),       
               0, str.toCharArray().length);
       mTransformerHandler.endElement
               ("tag1","tag1", "tag1");                              
       mTransformerHandler.endDocument();
catch(Exception e)
       System.out.println("e >> " + e);
. . . .The XSL file transforms the xml into an html code.
What I need is just to attach/link the XSL to the created XML and not to transform to the output of the XSL.
Any suggestions?
Thanks a lot.

If I understand you correctly, you want it to output your XML as it is, but with a <?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="blah.xsl"?>?
If that's what you want, you don't need an actual transformation at all. You only have to insert a processing instruction into your document and use a handler that simply writes your XML to the output.
       // get a transformer that directly copies the XML to the output; no transformation needed
       mTransformerHandler = mSAXTransformerFactory.
               newTransformerHandler();                     
       mTransformerHandler.setResult(new StreamResult(
               new File("c:\\tmp.xml")));
       Transformer trans = mTransformerHandler.getTransformer();
       trans.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.ENCODING, "SHIFT_JIS");
       mTransformerHandler.startDocument();
       // insert a processing instruction into the document
       mTransformerHandler.processingInstruction("xml-stylesheet", "type=\"text/xsl\" href=\"blah.xsl\"");
       mTransformerHandler.startElement("tag1","tag1", "tag1", new
               AttributesImpl());
       String str = "sample char";
       mTransformerHandler.characters(str.toCharArray(),       
               0, str.toCharArray().length);
       mTransformerHandler.endElement
               ("tag1","tag1", "tag1");                              
       mTransformerHandler.endDocument();
