Xerces C++ parser and WhiteSpaces

[Srikanth Sampath <sr...@sybase.com>]

Hi,
I would like to retain the whitespaces during parsing.

I find that the callback ignorableWhitespace() is NOT called when whitespaces
are encountered during parsing.  The callback characters() is invoked.  
It's mentioned that all validating parsers should use ignorableWhitespace()
for handling whitespaces.  Do we need to set anything in the SAX2 XERCES C++
parser for ignorableWhitespace to be called?

Thanks,
--Srikanth

Hi Srikanth,

In order for the parser to determine what is ignorable whitespace and what
isn't, your document requires a DTD grammar, otherwise it cannot know what
is ignorable and what isn't. And I believe that you should only be getting
ignorableWhitespace calls for whitespace which occurs within an element
that does not have character data (#PCDATA) in its content model, (i.e.
not mixed content).

I hope that helps.
