This is a known Java reflection issue when dealing with inner classes 
implementing interfaces. It can be worked around by invoking setAccessible on 
the method object:

          try {
             getXMLReader.setAccessible(true);
          }
          catch (SecurityException ex2) { /* Ignore and try anyway! */ }
