/Jacob Kjome/:
I'm wondering how I get rid of extra whitespace. I seem to be getting
an extra text node in the DOM tree for every return character/linefeed
at the end of a line. I've tried the following with no apparent change
in behavior....
fConfiguration.setFeature("http://apache.org/xml/features/dom/include-ignorable-whitespace";,
false);
You need to supply a DTD as noted in the documentation
<http://xerces.apache.org/xerces2-j/features.html#dom.include-ignorable-whitespace>.
"Or you could use the DOM Level 3 LSParser and filter out content
(including whitespace) you're not interested in with an
LSParserFilter." as noted by Michael Glavassevich in a previous
message
<http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/xerces-j-users/200606.mbox/[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.
Are return characters/line feeds not "ignorable-whitespace"? Seems to
me they are unless they are inside <pre> or the like. Then again, maybe
I'm missing something?
You could see the
DocumentBuilderFactory.setIgnoringElementContentWhitespace(boolean)
documentation
<http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/javax/xml/parsers/DocumentBuilderFactory.html#setIgnoringElementContentWhitespace(boolean)>
which further refers to the XML spec.
