Problem in XMLSerializer (1.2.1)

[Dennis Thrysoe - Netnord A/S <dt...@netnord.dk>]

Hi,

I recently tried changing from Xerces-J 1.0.3 to 1.2.1, but I am
experiencing the following problem with XMLSerializer:

java.lang.IllegalStateException SER002 No writer supplied for serializer

It worked before, and I am passing it a Writer object in the constructor.

Any ideas?

I gave the constructor a Writer, so that couldn't be it.

I found the problem though. Even though XMLSerializer exposes all the
methods of the ContentHandler interface, it only works if asContentHandler()
is called first. Perhaps this should be documented?

The serialize code changed and it now *requires* you to set the
output stream (or writer) before using it for serialization.
Assaf Arkin can give you more information on the implementation.
