Re: [Simple-support] XML readers share the same entity expansion counter

[Shevek <sh...@an...>]

Simply executing the existing test suite using an affected JDK 
demonstrates the issue: The last 300 or so tests of the existing suite 
will just fail, as the full test suite does more than 64K entity 
expansions. A new test is not required.

I note that while my own dev system is currently using the affected 
1.7.0_51 b08, the bug is fixed in b10, so this might go away with 
waiting for the Linux distributions to update.

The JDK ticket says it also affects StAX.

Our production sites only hit this after a few days' uptime, so it's a 
good thing I found the bug by executing the simple-xml test suite on an 
affected JDK before our devs lost a load of time trying to reproduce!
