I posted this about a week ago and didn't hear back. Any ideas on this?
 
Thanks in advance.

Subject: Thread Safety

We have been using Xalan for 2+ years, and have been caching the Transformer object and sharing it among users. In reading the Trax specs it appears that we should be caching the Templates object, and getting a new Transformer for each thread instance. When we tried this it used twice as much memory to do the transformation, so this is not a good option for us.
 
We have never had a thread problem to date in over two years, but I am wondering if this is really an unsafe practice with Xalan, or if we can just leave it as-is and continue to share the Transformer.
 
Thanks,
 
Cory
