Alex Harui commented on FLEX-34106:
-----------------------------------
PrettyPrinting is documented as removing whitespace. It seems odd that it
doesn't matter what ignoreWhitespace is set to. It would be an interesting
test to see if other XML libraries have the same issue. But if that is working
correctly, then there is no way to preserve the leading and trailing whitespace
if prettyPrinting = true.
I'm not an expert on SOAP: does the soap xml need to be pretty printed? If
not, I suppose you could set prettyPrinting to false.
The whitespace is preserved in the XML structure, it just isn't preserved at
the toXMLString() call, and I don't see any easy way to prevent use of
toXMLString() in the RPC library code.

> Key: FLEX-34106
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLEX-34106
> Project: Apache Flex
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: RPC: WebService
> Affects Versions: Apache Flex 4.8 (parity release), Apache Flex 4.9.0,
> Apache Flex 4.10.0, Apache Flex 4.11.0
> Reporter: Chris Martin
> Labels: easytest
> Attachments: ex2_09_solution.zip

> When XML.prettyPrinting is set to true, it will strip leading and trailing
> spaces from string values inside the soap envelope
> I'm attaching a project which uses a public soap interface used by adobe for
> their "Flex in a Week" training program. You must have visibility to this
> soap service for this to work right away. I've also monkey patched
> mx.rpc.soap.SOAPEncoder from Flex 4.11.0 to include trace statements at lines
> 171 and 179
> To Reproduce
> 1.) Debug the attached project
> 2.) In the department field type " test test " (without quotes)
> 4.) Click Submit button
> Result
> Look in the console window and look for !!!NO PRETTY PRINTING!!! below that
> trace line you will see a collapsed soap envelope. Scroll to the right and
> look for the "DEPARTMENT" property in the soap envelope. Note the value has
> the leading and trailing spaces. Now look for !!!PRETTY PRINTING!!!. In the
> soap envelope below that line look at the DEPARTMENT property. Note that the
> leading and trailing spaces are gone.
> Expected Result
> Both soap envelopes match regardless of prettyPrinting.
> From the dropdown choose
