Just write the following in your stylesheet, making sure the namespace is
declared:
<sw:hpath startscan="0" endscan="100" startpath="2" />

Why do you think you need disable-output-escaping for this?

Good, that's what I suggested.

No need to do that in Java, you can do it in XSLT. Look for the document()

Ah, you've got a problem there. The CDATA section is telling the XML parser
to treat the stuff inside it as text rather than as XML, so you lose all the
benefits of using XML markup. Why are you doing this?
