So is it actually possible to force Xerces into just leaving the white
space as it is??
I have an attribute value that has three spaces at the beginning, and when
I read it back in the white space has been removed. This makes it very
difficult to compare against another value as they no longer match!!
I have tried specifying that it preserve whitespace but it doesn't seem to
have any effect!!
i.e.
<xsd:attribute name="AimStopPointCode" xsd:type="xsd:string"
default="preserve">
I've also tried setting the attribute type to CDATA but that too has no
effect.
Is there an easy solution to this problem??
Many thanks
Neil
