DefaultConfigurationSerializer whitespace in XML

[Leif Mortenson <le...@silveregg.co.jp>]

I was wondering if there was any way to configure SAX to create XML
which contains whitespace.
Currently the XML produced does not contain any linefeeds or whitespace.

Ie, I would like to be able to change this output:
---
<a><b><c1>foo</c1><c2>foo</c2></b></a>
---

To
---
<a>
<b>
<c1>foo</c1>
<c2>foo</c2>
</b>
</a>
---

Or something a little more human readable.

Thanks Leif

You were exactly correct.

This will add line feeds after each element.  It does not however do any 
space indentation to place
the xml in a tree like form:

---
|<a>
|    <b>
|        <c1>
|            foo
|        </c1
|        <c1>
|            foo
|        </c1
|    </b>
|</a>
---

Still it is a lot better and more readable than before.  Thanks.

Theres a method setOutputStream in DefaultConfigSerializer. You need to add a 
line similar to

 m_format.put(OutputKeys.INDENT,"yes");

I forget exact code but the above should give you a hint. If you could make 
the serializer configurable so that it generated "nice" XML if you did 
something like

serializer.setIndent( true );

Or at least allowed you to overide it then that would be great.
