JAXB - Extra Characters added after the closing of the root tag

[asyiklah]

When I marshal Java objects into XML, some extra characters are added after the closing of the root tag.

Here is how I save the resulting java objects after unmarshaling from XML into a file:

    public void saveStifBinConv(ConversionSet cs, String xmlfilename) {
        FileOutputStream os = null;
        try {
            os = new FileOutputStream(xmlfilename);
            this.marshaller.marshal(cs, new StreamResult(os));
        }
        catch (IOException e) {
            log.fatal("IOException when marshalling STIF Bin Conversion XML file");
            throw new WmrFatalException(e);
        }
        finally {
            if (os != null) {
                try {
                    os.close();
                }
                catch (IOException e) {
                    log.fatal("IOException when closing FileOutputStream");
                    throw new WmrFatalException(e);
                }
            }
        }
    }

The extra characters are padded after closing tag of the root tag.

The characters added are some of the characters from the XML. Example:

tractor-to-type><bin-code>239</bin-code><allowed>YES</allowed></extractor-to></extractor-mapping><extractor-mapping><e

I use Spring OXM's `Jaxb2Marshaller` and JAXB 2.

Those characters look like there were more XML tags to render, but the file writing stopped. Perhaps look at your platform and see if you still have filesystem space?

There are no more XML tags to render, as the closing tag of the root tag has been printed. The extra characters trail the closing tag of the root tag at the end of the XML file.
