On the resulting DOMdocument, i add some Attributes and Childnodes. ..so=20
far.
=20
Now i want to overwrite the sourcefile:=20

<code>
Document document =3D parser.parseFile(path);
=20
try {
=20
Transformer transformer =3D TransformerFactory.newInstance()=20
newTransformer();
DOMSource source =3D new DOMSource(document);
FileOutputStream os =3D new FileOutputStream(new File(path +=20
"/plugin.xml"));
StreamResult result =3D new StreamResult(os);
transformer.transform(source, result);

} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}//end try-catch
</code>

it works.... all the changes are written in the xml file, but the new tag=20
and all its attribs and childs are written in a single line!=20

I don=B4t get it...=20
I=B4ve checked the Transformer-, DOMSource-,FileOututStream- and the=20
StreamResult - API, but haven=B4t found a parameter which set the output as=

sorry, i used the wrong expression..

the output xml file ist of course well-formed.

what i ment is that the added Nodes are not formatted. (pretty print)

so is there a way in DOM or have i to parse the file with SAX / JDOM ?

thx

I'll admit I am using Xalan to achieve this as I couldn't see how to do it
using the built-in libraries. I had to wrap the Xalan jar file in a plug-in
so that I could reference it, but since then it's being doing a fantastic
job (even with Japanese).

Thanks Philippe, I can see Xom is only about 100KiB whereas our Xalan
plug-in is about 800KiB. In my case I may as well go with Xalan as existing
components are already using (and shipping) it.

Vive la difference.

Well..=20

thx for all the Help!=20
But i=B4ve solved the problem allready,=20

I used an XMLSerializer and an OutputFormat.=20
The OutputFormat has the method .setIntend(x), which allows u to assign=20
the width of each break.=20

Both are included in Eclipse 3.0.2 .=20
