Michael,
Thank you for this suggestion.
I can use this. Before I call the serializer I will strip off all
whitespace in "whitespace-only" complex nodes because otherwise I do
not get a pretty-print:
For example:
String xml = "<root>" +
" <child1>text</
child1><child2> </child2></root>";
results in :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-16"?>
<root> <child1>text</child1>
<child2> </child2>
</root>
But stripping of this whitespace before will not be too difficult.
I feel it is a pitty that the LSSerializer will not be maintained
anymore, because we do not have alternatives that supply the same
functionality.
I am afraid that maybe in the future there may be new xml (or DOM)
feautures that have effects on the serialization. Then we are totally
dependent on other libraries to implement that functionality.
But I understand you have to make choices where to spent the effort.
Thanks
Dick Deneer

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.
