In the patch for 6756677, we fixed errors in StAX's input and output
factories where factoryId such as 'javax.xml.stream.XMLInputFactory" was
taken as factory class e.g.
com.sun.xml.internal.stream.XMLInputFactoryImpl. Unfortunately, we
missed XMLEventFactory in that patch.
So this is a patch for XMLEventFactory similar to that of
XMLInputFactory and XMLOutputFactory. The change itself is to search an
implementation class using the provided factory id instead of trying to
create a instance directly.
The webrev is here: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~joehw/7u8/7191547/webrev/
All tests pass except two XMLEventFactory tests that assumed the
factoryId to mean factory class. They will be updated once this patch is
approved.
Thanks,
Joe
