Is the class org.apache.xalan.processor.TransformerFactoryImpl thread safe? Or do I have to a keep local copy for each thread?

According to the Xalan Transform API document:

A TransformerFactory may not perform mulitple concurrent operations.

I wonder if this note is dictated only by presence of setter methods or something else. – Starve 16/10, 2015 at 16:1

It certainly doesn't look thread safe looking at the source

Looking closely in the source suggests that it should be thread safe in case you don't call setter methods after first initialization.
