Hi, please review another XALAN fix.
The Serializer should be able to handle text nodes with null input. There has already been some discussion here: http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/core-libs-dev/2016-November/044567.html Bug: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8169772 Webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~clanger/webrevs/8169772.0/ The actual fix is in ToUnknownStream.java, method "public void characters(String chars) throws SAXException". I don't know if one should even directly return after chars being null or of size() 0. The rest of this change is cleanups and a test case. Thanks for reviewing. Best regards Christoph
