[jdom-interest] way to not print namespaces?

[Beleznay, Dave]

I decided to go with extending XMLOutputter,  but like you said, there's *way* too many private methods that have to be copied over just to do a simple modification.   I might be doing something weird as well, as now my XML is getting extra newlines.  I remember this from jdom b7, but i'm using the same source that I made the jar file from, and when i run Ident on the jar file, the CVS version matches the version on the source.  

$Id: XMLOutputter.java,v 1.76 2002/03/15 05:36:48 jhunter Exp $


before:
<ENTERPRISE>
<PROPERTIES xmlns="http://www.imsproject.org/xsd/imsep_rootv1p01">
    <DATASOURCE>WEBCT</DATASOURCE>
    <TYPE>Initial Creation</TYPE>
    <DATETIME>2002-06-25T14:55:19</DATETIME>
</PROPERTIES>
<PERSON xmlns="http://www.imsproject.org/xsd/imsep_rootv1p01" recstatus="1">
    <!-- Person Data Object -->
    <SOURCEDID>
        <SOURCE>WEBCT</SOURCE>
        <ID>faculty00010</ID>
    </SOURCEDID>
    <USERID>faculty00010</USERID>
    <NAME>
        <FN>faculty faculty00010</FN>

after:

<ENTERPRISE>
<PROPERTIES>

    <DATASOURCE>WEBCT</DATASOURCE>
    <TYPE>Initial Creation</TYPE>
    <DATETIME>2002-06-25T14:55:19</DATETIME>
</PROPERTIES>
<PERSON recstatus="1">
    <!-- Person Data Object -->
    <SOURCEDID>

        <SOURCE>WEBCT</SOURCE>
        <ID>faculty00010</ID>

I can live with it for now, but if anyone knows what I did wrong please let me know.  I'll include the source, in case anyone wants a base point for extending XMLOutputter. 

Cheers,

Dave
