What Saxon are you talking about? The Saxon project (http://saxon.sourceforge.net/)? The Oracle sax (http://download.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/javax/xml/transform/sax/SA XTransformerFactory.html)? Would a Transformer work any better if it's created from the sax factory rather than the TransformerFactory?
Transformer = javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory.newTransformer() Vs Transformer = javax.xml.transform.sax.SAXTransformerFactory.newTransformerHandler().ge tTransformer() Somehow they both arrive at javax.xml.transform.Transformer. -----Original Message----- From: Andreas L.

Well, there probably are /some/, but in general, care has been taken to make sure that each rendering-run is isolated, and the process itself is currently completely single-threaded (which does leave room for optimization on the one hand, extra debugging headaches on the other ;-)). Those parts that are meant to be shared among threads are usually properly synchronized, although glitches do pop up from time to time. Mostly in the Java2D/AWT area. Understandable, since the API docs do not mention anything about classes not being thread-safe, and often it concerns the real 'innards' of the JVM, and you'll find some sun.com classes in the stack trace, references to native methods, etc. Nothing we could have foreseen... > My error seems to be just on Oracle's Transformer. Ahaaa!!! Them again! :-) So, you're saying it doesn't happen with, say, Saxon?
