ISSUE WHEN WRITING OUT XML WITH TAPESTRY

[Jesús Ramos <jr...@legosoft.com.mx>]

Good day, list!

I've found an issue when writing out XML documents with Tapestry.
I assumed that I had to implement a writer (obviuosly implementing IMarkupWriter) whose content type was "text/xml", then
write out the document elements using the @Any component. However, there seems to be
a problem in the writer, for it outputs nothing, until you remove the getWriter method you overrode to enable it.

Any idea why this happens?
Is this issue on the framework's side, or on my writer's side?

The following are the only methods and member variables not required by IMarkupWriter interface that I added to my writer:

private String _content = null;

public XWriter(OutputStream stream, String contentType) {
_content = contentType;
OutputStreamWriter owriter = new OutputStreamWriter(stream);
Writer bwriter = new BufferedWriter(owriter);
_writer = new PrintWriter(bwriter);
}

/**
*    returns a plain-text writer if no writer is specified in constructor.
*/
public String getContentType() {
return (_content == null ? "text/plain" : _content);
}

Best regards.

Creating an XMLWriter is virtually identical to the WMLWriter David Solis put in; please check your
code against it.
