Whitespace is not maintained properly when CDATA tags are used
--------------------------------------------------------------

         Key: IBATISNET-110
         URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IBATISNET-110
     Project: iBatis for .NET
        Type: Bug
    Reporter: Ron Grabowski


The ParseDynamicTags method in DomSqlMapBuilder.cs calls Trim() when building 
the sql statement. The following statement:

 <statement id="GetMany"><![CDATA[SELECT * FROM User ]]></statement>
 <statement id="GetOne" extends="GetMany"> WHERE Id=3</statement</statement>

is incorrectly constructed as:

 SELECT * FROM UserWHERE Id=3

when it should be:

 SELECT * FROM User WHERE Id=3

The same error occurs when two or more CDATA nodes and/or a Text node is used 
inside the same statement. This statement:

 <statement id="GetMany">
  <![CDATA[SELECT * ]]>
  <![CDATA[FROM ]]>
 User
 </statement>

is incorrectly rendered as:

 SELECT *FROMUser

This is the offending code:

 string data = child.InnerText.Replace('\n', ' ').Replace('\r', ' 
').Replace('\t', ' ').Trim(); //??

One solution is to trim the beginning of the first node and trim the end of the 
last node:

 string data = child.InnerText.Replace('\n', ' ').Replace('\r', ' 
').Replace('\t', ' ');
 if (i == 0)
 {
  // trim whitespace from the beginning of the string
  data = Regex.Replace(data, @"^\s*(.*)$", "$1");
 }
 else if (i == children.Count - 1)
 {
 // trim whitespace from the end of the string
 data = Regex.Replace(data, @"^(.*?)\s*$", "$1");
 }

Yes, I know there is a TrimStart and TrimEnd method but I think there are more 
whitespace characters than just " ", "\n", "\t", "\r"...especially if the xml 
file is encoded with a funky content-type. There may be a more effecient 
regular expression to remove whitespace.

Another solution is to remove the call to Trim after Replace.

I think that if the user is using a CDATA node, they probably don't want their 
sql messed with. Perhaps if we encounter a CDATA node we shouldn't try to make 
it all fit on one line:

 trimCdataNodes="false" ???

Thank you to Chad Humphries for encountering this bug.
