This happens because the SAAJInInterceptor invokes StaxUtils.copy() with the value of the fourth argument as true, which means StaxUtils uses its static properties to check innerElementLevelThreshold and innerElementCountThreshold. If the XMLStreamReader passed in to the method has custom values for these properties, they are ignored.

I'm not sure if this behavior is intentional or not, but if it's not, then it would be nice to allow the properties on the XMLStreamReader to take precedence.
