[Axis2] OM Space handling

[Eran Chinthaka]

Hi all, I was trying to find out the problems we have with XML conformance tests. One of the problems I saw was that we do not handle the SPACE event from the parser. What I thought was to use the OMText for that too. But that makes the other cases complicated. Currently, OMText's parent should be an OMElement, but not an OMContainer, which is correct. SPACE can come under the OMDocument, but not spaces. So I thought of introducing OMSpace to handle spaces. But this adds upto the memory. IMO, spaces are important in the security case only (am I missing something ? ). If thats the case, adding another object, just to handle spaces is affecting the memory. I googled to check how others have handled this, but unfortunately, all the impls i found have just discarded that event. (I couldn't look in to XBIS) Comments and thoughts ... ?? Chinthaka
