Michele Vivoda commented on JXPATH-83: -------------------------------------- I think this is a quite important issue, in my opinion there should be a way to force the JXPath processor to return whitespace, it doesn't matter so much if is not the default behavior. I believe the special xml:space attribute applies only to validating processors, and in any case its default value is already 'preserve'. I think also that this and maybe other issues could be solved adding a generic configuration mechanism with properties, like for a SAX parser. > JXpath automatically trims string values > ---------------------------------------- > > Key: JXPATH-83 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JXPATH-83 > Project: Commons JXPath > Issue Type: Bug > Affects Versions: 1.2 Final > Reporter: Wim Biesemans > Fix For: 1.3 > > > When an xml contains a value with leading or trailing spaces, JXPath trims > this value. > example: <value> 12324 56</value> is retrieved by JXPath as : '1234 56' > while I expect ' 1234 56'. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
