[xsl] TransformerFactory.newInstance()..is it needed every time?

["Kevin Duffey" <kevin.duffey@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

In looping through X number of XSL pages, trying to create a Template object
for each, I am doing something like:

TransformerFactor tFactory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
Template t = tFactory.newTemplate(xslSource);

So I ask, is it necessary to create a new TransformerFactory on each
iteration? Or can I just use a single instance to create many Template
objects, each with their own XSL source stream?

I am trying to cached pre-compiled XSL pages, to speed up the transformation
process.

Thanks.
