This issue is being dealt with. In the development cvs it uses a cache that will allow garbage collection, context (document) based, different caches etc.
For the code see:

Greetings group,
The FopImageFactory class appears to cache all references to images from within rendered fop documents. If you are running FOP in a server process, (a) this might cause a memory problem and (b) if images change between renderings (as they do in my case), I get the old copy of the image rather than the latest.
How would people feel about adding a static method FopImageFactory.clearCache()? Of course, this won't really be what is needed 'cause if you are rendering fops in multiple threads, you might want the cache to be a little more persistent than if each thread is flushing it after rendering a fop...
What do folks think about this?
