AW: [jdom-interest] Formatting of files

[MarkW]

Hi!,
Take a look at the example samples\sax\FilterTest.java.
You´ve probably got a formatted file to start with and first you have to
unformat it (see example).
You can output using:

  public static void JDOMDocToFile( String filename, org.jdom.Document doc )
  {
    try
    {
      FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream( filename );
      XMLOutputter fmt = new XMLOutputter();
      fmt.setTextNormalize( true );
      fmt.setIndent( true );
      fmt.setIndentSize( 2 );
      fmt.setNewlines( true );
      fmt.output( doc, out );
      out.close();
    }
    catch ( FileNotFoundException fnfx )
    {
      logError( fnfx );
    }
    catch ( IOException iox )
    {
      logError( iox );
    }
  }

Take a look at the various options of XMLOutputter.
Hope it helps.
