Siddarth, Thanks but I'm thinking of two possible issues:
1. using the ServletContext.getContext() - won't this still just return a pointer rather than cloning the cache? I looked at the API and didn't see anything that said it was copying the object and creating a local copy. 2. Returning and having to handle the entire contents of the servlet context could imply alot of overheard, I would think....at least presuming your copying the context each time a page is called in ordert to obtain a local copy of something, in this case an XsLT Transformer object. Am I misunderstanding your suggestion, or how this would work? Thanks.

Interface ServletContext has a mathod called getContext(java.lang.String uripath) returns ServletContext You can use this method by giving uripath of same application to get a copy of cache. I hope, This suggestion may help you.
