No. Seems overly complicated to me.

   TransformerFactory factory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
   Transformer transformer = factory.newTransformer( new 
StreamSource(xslFile) );

   JDOMSource xmlSource = new JDOMSource(document);
   StreamResult result = new StreamResult(outputFile);

   transformer.transform(source, result);
