[jdom-interest] org.jdom.output.XMLOutputter in JDOM b8

[Sullivan, Sean C - MLG]

I fixed my problem.

Here's my new code:

package foobar;

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

/**
 *
 * 
 *
 */
public class CustomXMLOutputter extends XMLOutputter
{
	public CustomXMLOutputter() 
	{
		super();
	}
	public java.lang.String escapeElementEntities(java.lang.String str)
	{
		return str;
	}
	
	public static void main(String[] args)
		throws Exception
	{
		String xml = "<Foo><Bar><Blah>Hello</Blah></Bar></Foo>";
		CustomXMLOutputter outputter = new CustomXMLOutputter();
		outputter.setNewlines(true);
		outputter.setLineSeparator("\r\n");
		outputter.setIndent("   ");
		outputter.setIndent(true);
		Document doc = null;
		SAXBuilder builder = new SAXBuilder(false);
		doc = builder.build(new StringReader(xml));
		String strResult = outputter.outputString(doc);
		System.out.println(strResult);		
	}
}
