Title: RE: [dom4j-user] How to avoid trimming of spaces in text

Balaji,

 

I can't reproduce your problem. You say "when you get the element tag it displays ...".  Do you mean that serializing the document as text gives you this result?  If so, what mechanism do you use to output the XML as text? The inherited Node#asXML() method or the org.dom4j.io.XMLWriter class?  (I couldn't reproduce the problem with either of these.)

 

When I run the following snippet:

 

DocumentFactory df = DocumentFactory.getInstance();
Element parent = df.createElement("parent");
parent.addElement("LINE").addText(" MODELCNTCTR");
System.out.println(parent.element("LINE").asXML());

(or even with the last line as "new XMLWriter().write(parent.element("LINE"));")

I get the correct result "<LINE> MODELCNTCTR</LINE>".

Hi,

   I am using 1.3 version of Dom4j.

  Here is the part of code i am using.some values are harcoded here

 

    String elementName = "LINE";   

    String elementValue = " MODELCNTCTR";   

    ((Element)parentElement.addElement(elementName).addText(elementValue);

 

    When i use  the above code and get the element tag it displays  <LINE>MODELCNTCTR</LINE>   without any spaces

 

Thanks

Balaji

Balaji,

That should certainly not be the case.  Can you show some code which demonstrates the problem?  And what version of dom4j are you using?

Regards,
