Hello,
Am not sure to which mailing-list, I can send issues related to xml-jaxp. I found couple of xml-jaxp issues discussed in this mailing-list. Hence, am sending to this group. Please let me know the correct mailing-list if this is not the right one. I had a brief analysis on the subject issue and identified that the StaX buffers were not closed as the close method implemented for XMLStreamWriter in XMLStreamWriterImpl.java does not call the close on the underlying writer and instead calls only flush() on the writer. Interestingly the close call was in fact coded but commented out. We looked into the history of XMLStreamWriterImpl.java and found that the same code exists from Java 6 GA or even before. Hence, we could not find the bug which really introduced/commented out the close call. I tested with close uncommented and it resolve the issue. I did not run the jtreg and other tests as I could see that the bug is already assigned to Joe Wang. @Joe, please let me know whether you will continue with the analysis or you want me to do other tests and contribute the patch. With Thanks and Regards, Srividya S
