No, Xerces is not "multi-threaded" -- it does not use
multiple threads. However, if you mean "is Xerces thread-
safe?" then the answer is again no. And I believe that
most parsers are the same in this respect.
Parsing an XML document is a serial process. When you start
parsing a document, you need to wait until the parser has
finished parsing (or an error occurs) before you can re-use
the same parser instance.
Therefore, if your application is multi-threaded, then each
thread should have its own parser instance and not try to
share the same one. Or at least not use the same one at the
same time. But this requires synchronization to make sure
that the threads don't step on each other's toes.

I don't think that you're going to find one. But you can
solve this problem in your application. I'm sure that there
are lots of people on the xerces-j-user mailing list that
have had to tackle the same problem and can offer you
advice (and perhaps source code).
