I run into same issue of geting "com.ctc.wstx.exc.WstxEOFException: Unexpected EOF in prolog" when using CachedOutputStream class.
Looking at sources of CachedOutputStream class the threshold is used to switch between storing stream's data from "in memory" to "a file".
Assuming stream operates on data that exceeds threshold it gets stored in a file thus following code is going to break
cachedInputStream.close(); //closes the stream, the file on disk gets deleted
InputStream tmpInputStream = cachedInputStream.getInputStream(); //returned tmpInputStream is brand *empty* one
// ... reading tmpInputStream here will produce WstxEOFException
Increasing 'threshold' does help as all stream data is stored into memory and in such scenario calling cachedInputStream.close() does not really close the underlying stream implementation so one can still read from it later on.
Here is 'fixed' version of above code (at least it worked without exception for me)
InputStream tmpInputStream = cachedInputStream.getInputStream();
// reading from tmpInputStream here works fine
Temporary file gets deleted when close() is called on tmpInputStream and there are no more other references to it, see source code of CachedOutputStream.maybeDeleteTempFile()
