Xml clob to file

Question

We are using the following java to write a PL/SQL generated xml clobs to the file system. The help in this forum has been priceless.
At this point the xml filesare being produced but have character issues. I am guessing it is basic JAVA and yes I am new to JAVA.
1. Small clobs have trailing box characters (carraige returns)
2. Larger files have tags broken
Any input is appreciated.
Thanks
create or replace and compile java source named sjs.write_CLOB as
import java.io.*;
import java.sql.*;
import java.math.*;
import oracle.sql.*;
import oracle.jdbc.driver.*;
public class write_CLOB extends Object
public static void pass_str_array(oracle.sql.CLOB p_in,java.lang.String f_in)
throws java.sql.SQLException, IOException
File target = new File(f_in);
FileWriter fw = new FileWriter(target);
BufferedWriter out = new BufferedWriter(fw);
Reader is = p_in.getCharacterStream();
char buffer[] = new char[8192];
int length;
while( (length=is.read(buffer,0,8192)) != -1) {
out.write(buffer);
// out.newLine();
is.close();
fw.close();

We are still hung up on this. I tried implementing the code from STEVE'S XML book but still haven't resovled it.
The clob is being created via XSU see below. The new char[8192] appeasr to force the output file to 8K
with trailing characters on small clobs but adds a carraige return each 8K on larger ones.
As usual any input is appreciated from all. Doese anyone know of a good JAVA forum like this one?
Thanks
