Hi Christopher, An XMLStreamWriter should be able to write to any java.io.OutputStream or java.io.Writer. It needs to take care of the encoding when the target is an OutputStream. This can be as simple as wrapping it in an java.io.OutputStreamWriter and as complex as having native support in the serializer for char to byte conversions (for each encoding), the latter usually being done in XML serializers for performance reasons.
