Woody,
When I first read this I thought that you might want to run a transform
in Java with a stylesheet with embedded Javascript. Mozilla has
something called Rhino that helps with this but there is a lot of
playing around with versions of Xalan, Xerces, Rhino, etc., to get it to
work. That would require that the stylesheets were otherwise XSLT 1.0
compliant. I don't remember which version of MSXML represented the
change over to this spec but earlier versions used a somewhat different
language that won't work in a modern transformer.
If all you want to do is run MSXML from a JSP you can exec it and it
should run in another process. You will have to be running your server
on a Windows platform of course and will also have to communicate via
the filesystem unless you can wrap the MSXML in something that will talk
to standard in/out. Either way you will have to serialize the XML and
deserialize the result.

proof of concept on a web version of a product that displays documents

The xsl that I have written over the last few years will run on any
xml processor, but the older stuff is full of javascript and runs in
the old MSXSL 2.6. There is a lot of it and I don't have time to
rewrite any of it.
I therefore need to run it through MSXSL to process, and am aware that
I can probably do something with JNI to get it working, but wondered
if anyone else had been in this situation or knows of something that
is already done.
I have scoured google, but the only references to it that I have found
is people saying not to do it (which I agree with but have no option).
