What do you mean by "is changing the character offsts"?

> CasToInlineXml adds indentation between adjacent XML elements. E.g. for a single character document with a single annotation covering that one character, it will write:
> {noformat}
> <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
> <Document>
>     <uima.tcas.DocumentAnnotation sofa="Sofa" begin="0" end="1" language="x-unspecified">
>         <uima.tcas.Annotation sofa="Sofa" begin="0" end="1"> </uima.tcas.Annotation>
>     </uima.tcas.DocumentAnnotation>
> </Document>
> {noformat}
> I think it should instead write everything in a single line, that is:
> {noformat}
> <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
> <Document><uima.tcas.DocumentAnnotation sofa="Sofa" begin="0" end="1" language="x-unspecified"><uima.tcas.Annotation sofa="Sofa" begin="0" end="1"> </uima.tcas.Annotation></uima.tcas.DocumentAnnotation></Document>
> {noformat}
> I believe this could be fixed by replacing the line:
> {noformat}
> XMLSerializer sax2xml = new XMLSerializer(byteArrayOutputStream);
> {noformat}
> with the line:
> {noformat}
> XMLSerializer sax2xml = new XMLSerializer(byteArrayOutputStream, false);
> {noformat}
> I think it's a bug that CasToInlineXml is changing the character offsets, but I would also be happy if there was an alternate constructor or a method on CasToInlineXml that allowed disabling the formatting.
