Hi Toby
There is an issue if you use OutputStream rather than Writer when using
XMLWriter, you should explicitly always call a flush() afterwards to ensure
that all the output goes to the OutputStream.
The code used to always call a flush internally inside the write(Document)
method but I decided to remove it, as when using dom4j in JSP / Servlet
environments this can lead to inefficiency, so I'd prefer to leave calls to
flush() or close() up to the developer.
So the following is recommended...
OutputFormat format = org.dom4j.io.OutputFormat.createPrettyPrint();
XMLWriter writer = new XMLWriter( out, format );
writer.write( someDocument );
writer.flush();
if you are writing the entire document to (say) a file, then close() is a
good alternative to calling flush() as you should close the underlying
file's output stream.
I'm looking forward to your docmanager work ;-)
Would you like to add it to CVS then we can put it on the main website too?
James
