------------------------------------

             Summary: StackOverflow error in 
org.apache.tika.sax.ToXMLContentHandler$ElementInfo.getPrefix(ToXMLContentHandler.java:58)
                 Key: TIKA-1070
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-1070
             Project: Tika
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: parser
    Affects Versions: 1.3, 1.2
         Environment: Java
            Reporter: Dietmar Glachs


The error occurs when parsing big "XLS" files and is caused by the ElementInfo 
stored in "currentElement".

Each time a new element is started (method startElement) the current elment is 
newly overwritten with 

currentElement = new ElementInfo(currentElement, namespaces);

where the existing element is used as the parent element. The currentElement is 
not reset to the parent element after finishing the element (method: 
endElement) 

For my understanding: something like:

currentElement = currentElement.parent;

would solve the issue!

Best
