Trailing blank space / Whitespace is not preserved : XmlObject.newDomNode
I have data with trailing blank spaces and because the user entered the
spaces I need to preserve it.
This data is set to an element or attribute value of my XmlObject.
When I call XmlBean.newDomNode to get the top level
org.w3c.xml.java.xml.Document the trailing blanks are removed.
Is there any way or setting to avoid this ?
I'm not using SAVE_PRETTY_PRINT option directly anywhere. Is this being used
somewhere by default ?

This I think applies for the structural part of XML and so maybe user can't
control what kind of whitespace is used between elements closing
(\aElement>) and next element opening brackets (<anotherElement) and also
the whitespace between two attributes etc.
But it does not apply to the value itself.
so If you have a data value "abcd " (Notice its abcd followed with 3
blanks) this is what I was expecting my XML to look like.
<aElement aAttribute="abcd ">abcd </aElement>
whereas its coming out as
<aElement aAttribute="abcd">abcd</aElement>
which in current project is interepreted as distorted data.
Is there any setting our workaround to this ?

Re: Trailing blank space / Whitespace is not preserved :

Unfortunately, the parser we use is not reporting this information. Also,
and more importantly, this whitespace outside the document element is not
considered part of the XML Infoset. XmlBeans, in general, supports only
the data model specified by the XML Infoset:
http://www.w3.org/TR/xml-infoset/
Note section 2.1 (1) where it specifies that the document must have one
element and may have comments or PI's. Character data is not allowed.
So, XmlBeans does not preserve the exact syntax of an incoming document,
just the Xml Infoset. There are many other examples of this. One is that
the white space between attributes is not preserved.
