Hello,

I am attempting to use the November 19th build in order to test integration
between FI and Apache XMLBeans 2.1.0. The first test I tried was to serialize
an XMLBeans document through FI which results in a NullPointerException:

java.lang.NullPointerException
        at com.sun.xml.fastinfoset.Encoder.encodeElementQualifiedNameOnThirdBit(Encoder.java:372)
        at com.sun.xml.fastinfoset.stax.StAXDocumentSerializer.encodeTerminationAndCurrentElement(StAXDocumentSerializer.java:592)
        at com.sun.xml.fastinfoset.stax.StAXDocumentSerializer.writeCharacters(StAXDocumentSerializer.java:453)
        at TestFI.write(TestFI.java:128)
        at TestFI.writeAll(TestFI.java:57)
        at TestFI.testFI(TestFI.java:187)
        at TestFI.main(TestFI.java:213)

Code in question looks like the following:

  private static void testFI(XMLStreamReader in)
    throws XMLStreamException
  {
    ByteArrayOutputStream bytes = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
    StAXDocumentSerializer sw = new StAXDocumentSerializer();

    sw.setOutputStream(bytes);

    XMLStreamWriter out = sw;

    writeAll(in, out);
    out.close();

    System.out.println("FI-serialized size: " + bytes.size());
  }

The XMLStreamReader is created by the XmlObject.newXMLStreamReader() and writeAll
simply iterates through the different StAX types (START_ELEMENT, etc.). If I change
from using StAXDocumentSerializer to a more conventional XMLStreamWriter, the code
works as expected. It is only when I try to serialize with FI that the exception
occurs.

I can create an archive of the example, if desired.
