Description Andrew Cattle CLA 2008-10-07 13:17:08 EDT 
The API simply says "Fill the given stream with the described artifact. Sets status accordingly," which is fairly vague.
Comment 1 Pascal Rapicault CLA 2008-10-07 19:52:46 EDT 
We are confirming what the method is keeping the semantics that it has been used under since the beginning, which is that it will write to the given output stream the bytes represented by the artifact descriptor processed by the processing steps.
I have fixed the java doc in HEAD.
