Pascal Essiembre commented on CONFIGURATION-703:
------------------------------------------------

Some of the tests fail when I do not consider child attributes.  The reason 
seems to be that some tests expect {{null}} while others expect an empty string 
when we are not preserving spaces and there is no content.  Shouldn't it be 
consistent? If so, I have a fix, but for it to work we would have to settle on 
one or the other and modify a few tests accordingly.

> xml:space="preserve" does not handle blank strings properly

>             Project: Commons Configuration
>          Issue Type: Bug
>    Affects Versions: 2.2
>            Reporter: Pascal Essiembre
>            Priority: Major
>
> When using XMLConfiguration 2, tags containing only white spaces are not 
> handled properly when xml:space="preserve" is set.  'null' is returned 
> instead of the actual spaces.  To reproduce:
>  
> {code:java}
> XMLConfiguration xml = new BasicConfigurationBuilder<>(
>         XMLConfiguration.class).configure(
>             new Parameters().xml()).getConfiguration();
> FileHandler fh = new FileHandler(xml);
> fh.load(new StringReader("<test xml:space=\"preserve\">    </test>"));
> System.out.println("TEST: '" + xml.getString("") + "'");
> // Outputs   -> TEST: 'null'
> // Should be -> TEST: '    '
> {code}
