    public void testTwo(){
        try {
            XMLStreamReader reader =
                    factory.createXMLStreamReader(new StringReader(XML));
            reader.next(); // advance to START_ELEMENT
            XMLStreamReader filter =
                    factory.createFilteredReader(reader, new Filter());
            assertTrue(filter.getEventType() != -1);
        }
        catch (Exception e) {
