Transformer objects may be reused, but they may not be used simultaneously by multiple threads.  (JAXP 1.1 spec.)

So, without a digression into threading in servlet containers and static fields, you'll be much better off to store Templates objects in a HashMap and access them as necessary.  (Templates objects are safe for concurrent access from multiple threads, or at least JAXP requires that.)
