XMLSerialize

[Chris Gokey <cg...@hydrogen.stx.com>]

Hi everyone,

I have been playing around with XmlSerialize, and here is a snippet of my code:

    private void writeXml(Writer writer, Document doc) throws java.io.IOException {
	OutputFormat o = new OutputFormat(doc);
	o.setIndenting(true);
	XMLSerializer s = new XMLSerializer(writer, o);
	s.asDOMSerializer(); // As a DOM Serializer
	s.serialize( doc.getDocumentElement() );
    }

My problem is this pretty prints a bit too much and adds newline characters to the
tag values.  I don't want this behavior, can I turn it off?  I tried doing this:
o.setLineWidth(0) and no longer attempted to add new lines, but removed all my
new lines inside each element!  How can I achieve nice indentation of the tags
and leave nside the tags alone?

Thanks,
Chris

Just an addition comment on XMLSerializer.  I have a XML structured used to hold
Personnel, i.e., it has elements like First_Name, Last_Name, Address, Fax, etc.  
With the writeXml code below, it prints XML for Personnel like this:

  <Personnel>
        <Role>Technical Contact</Role>
        <First_Name>YUKIO</First_Name>
        <Last_Name>HARUYAMA</Last_Name>
        <Phone>81-3-5470-4252</Phone>
        <Fax>81-3-3432-3969</Fax>
        <Address>      Program Planning and Management Department
            NASDA Head Office       Hamamatsu-cho       Minato-ku Tokyo
            105       Japan </Address>
    </Personnel>

Why does it remove the newlines from address?  I know for a fact that when I build the DOM,
I am including them.  Is this the best way to produce a neatly formatted XML from a DOM?  Is 
their something in Xalan maybe that would help?

I would very much appreciate a response on this.

Thanks
Chris
