to change the contens of the element you have to work with the elements and not on the document. Se the documentation for this: --- setStripWhitespaceText(boolean) - Method in class org.dom4j.io.SAXReader Sets whether whitespace between element start and end tags should be ignored. setStripWhitespaceText(boolean) - Method in class org.dom4j.io.SAXContentHandler Sets whether whitespace between element start and end tags should be ignored. ---
If a io class starts messing with the contens of the io then there is something wrong in the design. /Christian > -----Ursprungligt meddelande----- > Från: Stephen C.
