[jdom-interest] bug: JDOM 1.0 XMLOutputter.outputString() --trailing 0A character

[William Krick]

I think I found the problem.  In my servlet, I'm returning the XML using
println() instead of print().  println is adding the 0A because the server
is runing unix.  Sorry about that.  My bad.

Just for reference, here's my sample servlet...

import java.io.*;
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
import org.jdom.*;
import org.jdom.output.*;


public class TestJDOM extends HttpServlet {
  public void doGet(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse res) throws
ServletException, IOException {
    res.setContentType("application/xml; charset=utf-8");
    PrintWriter out = res.getWriter();
    XMLOutputter outputter = new XMLOutputter(Format.getPrettyFormat());
    Element root = new Element("ROOT");
    root.setText("Hello World!");
    Document doc = new Document(root);
    String s = outputter.outputString(doc);
    out.println(s); // wrong!  should use print() instead
  }
}

I don't see how, in logic or in code, you could get a 0A at the end of a
document due to JDOM's actions.  Could you send a short (i.e. 5 line)
complete program that reproduces the problem reliably on your end, and
then we'll be able to figure out what's going on.
