You need to be using javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory

DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
factory.setValidating(false);
DocumentBuilder builder = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
InputSource src = new InputSource("http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right_Livelihood_Award")
Document xmlDocument = builder.parse(src.getByteStream());
DOMSource source = new DOMSource(xmlDocument);
TransformerFactory tf = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
Transformer transformer = tf.newTransformer(xsltSource);
transformer.transform(source, new StreamResult(System.out));
