Me too, as you know. My app is done, but there is one problem remaining
and that is the Xerces serializer that XMLForm uses to write the edited
file back to the disk. When you have multi-line values, then it adds a
blank line after each return character. So, if you have in your edit
window a textarea with this content:

foo
bar
baz

It becomes in the file:

foo

bar

baz

This is extremely annoying, but short of hacking Xerces I don't know how
to resolve this.

All you have to do is delete the contents of the repository directory
and restart cocoon (by restarting the servlet engine, for example), then
you can be 100% sure that neither on disk nor in memory is there any old
stuff.

No, I tried various settings concerning preserve space, indenting,
output method and others. I'll try to locate this Assaf Arkin guy.

Ah! Is _that_ why that was happening? I had wondered but never got around
to messing with it. Maybe turning off preserve space would help? You also
might try writing Assaf Arkin directly. He's a nice guy.
