problems formatting output
I've been having some troubling problems using OutputFormat to write
out a DOM. I'm basically parsing some ugly XML (spaces before '>'s,
no newlines, etc.) into a DOM and then writing it back
out. I've traversed the DOM and it looks like it gets parsed just
fine, but when I use OutputFormat to write it out, the output still
has ugliness (although different from the input). Tags are
word-wrapped so that they split over lines, etc. It looks like this:
<time>15:04:27</time> <anten
type="broadcast"> <Station num="17650">
What am I doing wrong???
Thanks,
Eric.

Nope, I tried it with your parsing set up and I get the same
thing... I'm using the latest Xerces.
thanx anyways,
eric.

Mine is the same, the code output has return codes throughout it (we have
some other pre-XML classes that do half of the job).
The code below actually reformats the whole file. What version of Xerces are
you using? I've tried it with the latest version (1.3.1) and Xalan 2.0.1.
It's possible your parsing is not set up properly, give this a go:
public static Document parseDoc(String uri){
DOMParser parser = new DOMParser();
try{
parser.setFeature("http://apache.org/xml/features/dom/include-ignorable-whit
espace",false);
parser.setFeature("http://xml.org/sax/features/namespaces",false);
parser.setFeature("http://apache.org/xml/features/dom/create-entity-ref-node
s",false);
parser.setFeature("http://apache.org/xml/features/continue-after-fatal-error
",true);
parser.setFeature("http://xml.org/sax/features/validation",true);
parser.parse(uri);
} catch (IOException ioe){
System.out.println(ioe);
} catch(SAXException se){
System.out.println(se);
}
return parser.getDocument();
}

ya, i do almost exactly the same thing. the problem is that the DOM
i'm writing out has been parsed by xerces from an XML document that
had no newlines, only tabs between tags...and i was really praying
that xerces would figure out that i like every tag on its own line,
indented nicely. ;)

My code outputs fine:
public static String serializeDoc(Element doc){
String xmlString = new String();
StringWriter stringOut = new StringWriter();
OutputFormat opfrmt = new OutputFormat(doc.getOwnerDocument(), "UTF-8",
true);
opfrmt.setIndenting(true);
opfrmt.setPreserveSpace(false);
XMLSerializer serial = new XMLSerializer(stringOut, opfrmt);
try{
serial.asDOMSerializer();
serial.serialize( doc );
xmlString = stringOut.toString();
} catch(java.io.IOException ioe){
xmlString=null;
}
return xmlString;
}
Let me know if you still have problems
