--- Comment #3 from Yaniv Kunda <ya...@kundas.net> --- It's a precaution as neither DocumentBuilderFactory nor DocumentBuilder are guaranteed to be thread-safe, plus it duals as a cache. But I agree that this needs to be more carefully examined, and perhaps starting with a static DocumentBuilderFactory spawning new DocumentBuilder objects on each call is the way to go. Performance wise, I do believe we have more pressing issues than creation of DocumentBuilders and their factories... -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@poi.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@poi.apache.org
