[esb-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Closed: (JBESB-3162) Reuse DocumentBuilder in XMLHelper

Reuse DocumentBuilder in XMLHelper ---------------------------------- Key: JBESB-3162 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBESB-3162 Project: JBoss ESB Issue Type: Feature Request Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Components: Web Services Affects Versions: 4.7 Reporter: Kevin Conner Assignee: Kevin Conner Fix For: 4.7 CP1 We only use it in this class to create a new document, never parsing. As such it is quicker to reuse a single instance and synchronize around the newDocument() method invocation. We need to synchronize as the newDocument() implementation is not guaranteed to be thread safe, although it is likely to be in most implementations.
