[jdom-interest] XMLOutputter.outputElementContent bug?

Mon Apr 23 02:06:13 PDT 2001

Hello all,

I have tried to use outputElementContent on a jdom element
to print the elements contents using a writer to the system
out, but nothing happens.

outputter.outputElementContent(header,new OutputStreamWriter(System.out));

Any suggestions out there ?

Regards

Mark
