[jdom-interest] Bug in CDATA reading/writing?

[Mark Roder]

Thanks for checking in the new XMLOutputter.java(CVS rev 1.41)

I am noticing a problem that you/someone may be able to track down better
than I can.  


If I construct a outputter with:
XMLOutputter xmlOut = new XMLOutputter("  ",true);
And read and then write out a file that contains:
<Root>
<ValueOne>This &amp; That</ValueOne>
<ValueTwo>This <![CDATA[&]]> That</ValueTwo>
<LongElem><Tag1>T1</Tag1><Tag2><Tag21>T21</Tag21></Tag2><Tag3>T3</Tag3></Lon
gElem>
</Root>

The ValueOne, ValueTwo and LongElem are not indented, but the line before
them has 2 spaces on it and a newline.  Notice it goes
<Root>\r\n<space><space>\n<ValueOne>.

Here is the od -c dump of the the original file and then the file I write
out.  I do get the same output if I have the original file with line endings
of \r\n or just \n. 


Thanks for the help.

Mark

Here is the code I use to read a file and then write the new file.


import org.jdom.*;
import org.jdom.input.*;
import org.jdom.output.*;
import java.io.*;

public class DataReader
{

    public static void main(String args[])
    {
        try
        {
        SAXBuilder aBuilderR1 = new SAXBuilder();
        Document aDocR1 = aBuilderR1.build(new File("Sample.xml"));

        XMLOutputter xmlOut = new XMLOutputter("  ",true);
        FileWriter aWriter = new FileWriter("Sample2.xml");
        xmlOut.output(aDocR1,aWriter);
        aWriter.close();


        
        }
        catch(Exception e)
        {
            System.out.println("Exception is " + e);
        }
        
    }
}
