RSA Public Key AES Encryption

I am writing a small file transfer application, more or less, to learn more about the software basics of encryption. The idea is to create an RSA key pair, exchange public keys and send AES iv and the key for further decryption. I want to encrypt the AES key with the RSA recipient public key, for example:

// encode the SecretKeySpec
private byte[] EncryptSecretKey ()
{
    Cipher cipher = null;
    byte[] key = null;

    try
    {
        cipher = Cipher.getInstance("RSA/ECB/NOPADDING");
        // contact.getPublicKey returns a public key of type Key
        cipher.init(Cipher.ENCRYPT_MODE, contact.getPublicKey() );
        // skey is the SecretKey used to encrypt the AES data
        key = cipher.doFinal(skey.getEncoded());
    }
    catch(Exception e )
    {
        System.out.println ( "exception encoding key: " + e.getMessage() );
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
    return key;
}

Then I write out the key value to the recipient and decrypt it like this:

private SecretKey decryptAESKey(byte[] data )
{
    SecretKey key = null;
    PrivateKey privKey = null;
    Cipher cipher = null;

    System.out.println ( "Data as hex: " + utility.asHex(data) );
    System.out.println ( "data length: " + data.length );
    try
    {
        // assume this loads our private key
        privKey = (PrivateKey)utility.loadLocalKey("private.key", false);

        cipher = Cipher.getInstance("RSA/ECB/NOPADDING");
        cipher.init(Cipher.DECRYPT_MODE, privKey );
        key = new SecretKeySpec(cipher.doFinal(data), "AES");

        System.out.println ( "Key decrypted, length is " + key.getEncoded().length );
        System.out.println ( "data: " + utility.asHex(key.getEncoded()));
    }
    catch(Exception e)
    {
        System.out.println ( "exception decrypting the aes key: " + e.getMessage() );
        e.printStackTrace();
        return null;
    }

    return key;
}

In the console, on the other hand, I get this as output:

read_bytes for key: 16
data length: 16
Data as hex: <hex string>
Key decrypted, length is 256
java.security.InvalidKeyException: Invalid AES key length: 256 bytes

Also, if I create an array of bytes of size 16 and put the output of cipher.doFinal (data) into it, the array would apparently resize to 256 bytes (.length says so, at least). Why would this continue, what am I doing wrong?
