Hi, Ed:
This also reminds me of XALANJ-1861.
http://nagoya.apache.org/jira/secure/ViewIssue.jspa?key=XALANJ-1861
This fix would be in the current CVS but not in 2.6.0

From your description, it sounds like you're putting together the
pieces in a way that ought to be thread-safe.
I took a quick look at the classes that implement serialization, and I
notice that the Serializer.setOutputFormat(Properties) maintains a
reference to the argument Properties object that is passed in, as opposed
to making a copy of it. Is it possible that your code makes changes to the
Properties object that's produced by OutputPropertiesFactory before passing
it to Serializer.setOutputFormat at the same time that some other
Serializer is using that same Properties object?
I'm not saying that it's right or wrong for
Serializer.setOutputFormat(Properties) to use a reference to the Properties
object - just making an observation.
Thanks,
Henry
