[dom4j-user] WhiteSpace in elements

[Inns, Jeff]

I have an element "<enumeratedValue></enumeratedValue>" where the content is a single space (" ").  However, as you can see the by the element tags that the element contains no content, not even the space.

 

The code I am using to write out the XML is:

 

          OutputFormat format = new OutputFormat();

          format.setEncoding("UTF-8");
          format.setIndentSize(4);
          format.setNewlines(true);
          format.setTrimText(false);
          format.setExpandEmptyElements(true);

          writer = new XMLWriter(out, format);

 

Is this a bug?
