OMElement remove empty spaces

[Luis Costa]

Hi there,

 

I'm Using org.apache.axiom.om.OMElement, 

OMElement.detach() instruction is creating empty spaces in final OMElement

 

// remove all the top level children

OMElement yyy = find_xxx();

for (Iterator it= yyy.getChildElements(); it.hasNext(); ) {

      OMElement child = (OMElement) it.next();

// is here where the empty spaces are being added

      child.detach();

}

 

// add the top level children

for (int i=0; i<objects.size(); i++) {

      OMElement ele = (OMElement) objects.get(i);

// is here where I add new Child and empty spaces continue to exist

      yyy.addChild(ele);

}

 

 

Final result:

 

 

<aaa>

    <bbb>

        <ccc>

            

 

 

<!- empty stace -->

 

            

        <ddd/>

                    <eee/>

                </ccc>

    </bbb>

</aaa>

 

 

Question:

Is there a way to remove those empty spaces?

 

 

 

 

Thank you for your attention and best regards,
