What i've done is to compile the template during the init. and next i reuse the template using templates.newTransformer();

I modified the following block in an attempt to implement a template for performance gains, but have a feeling that I'm missing something. if (xslSource != null) // Now do we have a stylesheet? { Templates templates = tFactory.newTemplates(xslSource); transformer = templates.newTransformer(); setParameters(transformer, request); // Set stylesheet params. // Perform the transformation. transformer.transform(xmlSource, new StreamResult(out)); } Should I put a declaration such as the following outside the doPost? private static Templates templates = null; And then have a test within the above block such as if (templates == null){ Templates templates = tFactory.newTemplates(xslSource); } Otherwise, I suspect every time a user hits the servlet it recreates the templates object, thus adversely affecting performance. FYI - My servlet implementation is applying the same XSL stylesheet to the same XML document over and over with different parameters to change the resulting html. Tom
