Problem description
===================
Javadoc for method of class java.beans.Encoder
public void setPersistenceDelegate(Class type, PersistenceDelegate persistenceDelegate)
says nothing about static nature for method behavior.
If developer sets persistence delegate for one Encoder, this persistent delegate
is used for another encoder instances to express the state of an instance of a given
type. It should be documented.

Minimized test demonstrates this bug.
    
Minimized test:
===============
------- Test01.java -------
import java.io.ByteArrayOutputStream;
import java.beans.*;

public class Test01 {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        ByteArrayOutputStream out = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
        XMLEncoder xml = new XMLEncoder(out);
        MyDelegate delegate = new MyDelegate("statement");
        xml.setPersistenceDelegate(MyBean2.class, delegate);

        ByteArrayOutputStream out_new = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
        XMLEncoder xml_new = new XMLEncoder(out_new);

        if (delegate == xml.getPersistenceDelegate(MyBean2.class)) {
            System.out.println("Failed: XMLEncoder has persistence delegate that has been set " +
                "for another XMLEncoder");
        } else {
            System.out.println("OKAY");
        }
    }
}

class MyDelegate extends PersistenceDelegate {

    public MyDelegate(String statement) {
    }

    protected Expression instantiate(Object obj, Encoder encoder) {
        return null;
    }

    protected void initialize(Class type, Object oldInstance, Object newInstance, Encoder out) {
    }

}
MyBean2
public class MyBean2 {
    private String s;
    public MyBean2(String s) {
        setString(s);
    }
    public void setString(String s) {
        this.s = s;
    }
    public String getString() {
        return s;
    }
}

------- end-of-Test01.java -------

Minimized test output:
======================
/set/java/jdk1.5.0/solaris/bin/java Test01
Failed: XMLEncoder has persistence delegate that has been set for another XMLEncoder
