What do you mean by releasing cached information?
I have only javax.xml.transform.Templates cached and the newTransformers are created in method scope of threads and those references are not maintained anywhere. Ok.. I forgot to add one important information. My application was running smoothly for any number of transformations without any issues previously. I'm facing this issue only after I have included EHCache library in my application to store the XSLT output. Have any idea where these two conflicts?

Hitting the swapper knee, I suspect. Yes, it's the user's responsibility to release cached information, when it's no longer needed, by discarding the Transformer. ______________________________________ "You build world of steel and stone I build worlds of words alone Skilled tradespeople, long years taught: You shape matter; I shape thought."
