FULL PRODUCT VERSION :


A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
jdk1.6.0 build 78 introduces an infinite recursive loop into
com.sun.xml.internal.stream.XMLOutputFactoryImpl.createXMLStreamWriter(javax.xml.transform.Result)
at line 93 of XMLOutputFactoryImpl.java


The call
public javax.xml.stream.XMLStreamWriter createXMLStreamWriter(javax.xml.transform.Result result) throws javax.xml.stream.XMLStreamException {

        if(result instanceof StreamResult){
            return createXMLStreamWriter((StreamResult)result); // this is the infinite recursive loop
...

just calls back to itself, since there is no createXMLStreamWriter that takes a StreamResult as an argument.


You probably intended to call
javax.xml.stream.XMLStreamWriter createXMLStreamWriter(javax.xml.transform.stream.StreamResult sr, String encoding) throws javax.xml.stream.XMLStreamException {

defined on line 175, but that method takes an additional parameter (an encoding).
