You should also be able to control whether spaces are preserved by
registering an LSSerializerFilter.
When I added one to your test program:
if (useXerces)
{
domWriter = new DOMSerializerImpl();
domWriter.setFilter(new LSSerializerFilter() {
public int getWhatToShow() {
return LSSerializerFilter.SHOW_ALL;)
}
public short acceptNode(Node n) {
return LSSerializerFilter.FILTER_ACCEPT;
}});
}
the output I get is:
Program started
Xerces serializer will be used
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-16"?>
<root>
<child1>text</child1>
<child2> </child2>>
</root>
Xalan serializer will be used
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-16"?><root>.
<child1>text</child1>
<child2> </child2>>
</root>
which I believe is what you were expecting.
Thanks.
