[XOM-interest] [SPAM(hdr)] - Using Serializer with Indenting (without alteringAttribute values)

[Peter Taylor]

Certiainly there never use to be. I ended up transforming the XOM to
DOM.

Then it's easy to indent and you'd expect:

(without alteringAttribute values)

Hi,

I'm using the Serializer to pretty print my XOM constructed XML.
I've read the javadoc and some comments on the list that it may change
whitespace, but this is really a problem for me:

Before : <foo name="Abc CdeF" />
After : <foo name="Abc CdeF" />
Expected: <foo name="Abc CdeF" />

Is there any way to change this behaviour? The value of the attribute
should not be changed, but elements should be indented.


Regards,
Jens

there are several things that could be happening here. Do you have a test case?

However if you tell XOM to change the white space by indenting, then
yes, it will change the white space. If you don't want XOM to change
the white space, don't use indenting.

Elliotte,

Assuming the attribute in question is declared as CDATA (most likely
case...), wouldn't it be incorrect for the formatter (while performing
the indenting) to modify the attribute content?

Elliotte,

No, it is not incorrect. Indenting is a specific request to change the
white space. If you don't want to change the white space, don't tell
the serializer to indent. The default behavior is not to indent.
