FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
java version "1.5.0"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0-b64)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0-b64, mixed mode, sharing)

ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
Microsoft Windows 2000 [Version 5.00.2195]

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
After creating a file from a W3C Document the method File.length() returns 0 instead of the file size.

I think the output stream will not be closed correctly in method endDocument() of the class com.sun.org.apache.xml.internal.serializer.ToXMLStream


STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
run the test program

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
length=38
length=38
ACTUAL -
length=0
length=38

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
