This is a problem within your XSL stylesheet. It does not output a well-formed 
XML document. In this case, you should use JDOMResult.getResult to retrieve 
the output as a list of nodes.
Or, if you expect the output to be a document, try outputing the result to a 
file using a StreamResult to see what's wrong.

The JAXP TrAX API allows you to register your own URIResolver implementation 
on Transformers. You should then be able to resolve document URIs into 
JDOMSource objects.
