a bit interesting, this one. i think that processing of whitespace is parser dependent. so unless digester trims you can get a difference in behaviour when you changes parsers. (at least, i've always assumed that this was the reason why this bit of code was written in that way.)
i do agree with the change, though. if a user wants to use a parser that preserves whitespace then we should allow them to process that whitespace :) i might check my facts and see if i can maybe put something in the documentation. - robert On Saturday, January 12, 2002, at 10:32 PM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > sanders 02/01/12 14:32:37 > > Modified: digester/src/java/org/apache/commons/digester Digester.java > Log: > Need to NOT trim the text in the call to Rule.body().
