Oliver Heger commented on CONFIGURATION-335:
--------------------------------------------
I think your request is not in line with the XML specification. Have a look at
http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/#AVNormalize where the concept of attribute
normalization is defined.
What you can do is using the content of an element instead of an attribute.
Recently support for the xml:space attribute was added to XMLConfiguration (see
CONFIGURATION-307). If this attribute is set on an element, whitespace in its
content will be preserved. However, the current version 1.5 does not contain
this feature yet.
> XMLConfiguration: Can't disable attribute splitting
> ----------------------------------------------------

> Key: CONFIGURATION-335
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CONFIGURATION-335
> Project: Commons Configuration
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Format
> Affects Versions: 1.5
> Reporter: Sergey Vladimirov
>
> My XML configuration has the following attribute:
> <some-element some-attribute="

" />
> But XML Configuration is trying to split this string and trims it after
> splitting. I don't need this behaviour, but setting
> setDelimiterParsingDisabled() just changing delimeter to "|" and not disables
> attribute trimming.
> Need either to disable trimming/splitting if setDelimiterParsingDisabled() is
> set to TRUE (incompatible change), or add something like
> setParseAttributesAsIs() that will prevent attributes to be trimmed and
> splitted
