Omit Comments Does not Work

[Thomas <ne...@gmx.net>]

Hello!

I have two questions:

(1) I want to preserve comments in the following lines, but it does not 
work: comments are still removed.

        memoryxml.reset();
        try {
            InputSource input = new InputSource(memoryxml);
            input.setEncoding("utf-8");
            input.setByteStream(memoryxml);

            DocumentBuilderFactory factory = 
DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
            factory.setValidating(false);

            DocumentBuilder parser = factory.newDocumentBuilder();

            Document document = parser.parse(input);

            OutputFormat format = new OutputFormat(document, "utf-8", true);
            format.setLineWidth(100);
            format.setIndent(4);
            format.setOmitComments(false);
            format.setOmitXMLDeclaration(false);
            format.setOmitDocumentType(false);
            format.setPreserveSpace(false);

            StringWriter sw = new StringWriter();

            XMLSerializer serializer = new XMLSerializer(sw, format);

            try {
                serializer.asDOMSerializer();

                serializer.serialize(document.getDocumentElement());
            } catch (Exception ex) {
                logger.error("Serializing Exception " + ex.getMessage());
            }
           
            return sw.toString();        

        } catch (SAXException sex) {
            logger.error("SAXException: " + sex.getMessage());
        } catch (IOException iox) {
            logger.error("IOException: " + iox.getMessage());
        } catch (ParserConfigurationException pcex) {
            logger.error("ParserConfigException:" + pcex.getMessage());
        }

(2) How can I ensure that the Xerces parser is really used and not 
Crimson (JDK 1.4) ? Can I dynamically load the Xerces parser somehow?

Thanks for your info!

Kind regards,
Tommy
