transform collapsing Element 2003-01-31 - By Tim Cronin
I still have a problem.
I'm not trying to Transform xml with XSL
I have a Stylesheet (xsl) loaded into a dom.
I need to write the dom to a string to store it in a DB
I'm using the following to convert to String
public static String toString
(
Document doc,
boolean indent
) throws TransformerException
{
StringWriter sw = new StringWriter();
Transformer transformer =
TransformerFactory.newInstance().newTransformer();
transformer.setOutputProperty("method", "xml");
transformer.setOutputProperty("omit-xml-declaration", "yes");
if (indent)
{
transformer.setOutputProperty("indent", "yes");
}
transformer.transform(new DOMSource(doc.getDocumentElement()), new
StreamResult(sw));
return sw.toString();
}
when I dump the string to system.out
the empty <td></td> get collapsed to <td/>
is there a way to stop this?

I've lost track -- are you now OK (set the output to "html" if you don't
want xml-style representation of empty elements), or do you still have a
problem?
