Specifiying simply "abc.xsl" means "try to open the file abc.xsl in the
current default directory". It isn't in the webserver's default directory.
There are two ways to fix this:

1. Specify a fully qualified filename, if you know what directory abc.xsl
will live in.
2. Make abc.xsl a resource (that is, build it into one of your application's
jar files) and open it using ClassLoader.getResource[AsStream]() instead of
specifying a file name.
