Steven Bethard commented on UIMA-2101:
--------------------------------------
Perhaps I should clarify my whole use case here. I'm taking the XML output by
CasToInlineXml and transforming the element names and attributes so that they
match the ISO-TimeML XML format. I'm not doing this for fun - I'm doing it
because I have to give someone files in ISO-TimeML and they will only give me
ISO-TimeML files back.
So, no, I don't have control over what elements go where or contain what, and
no I can't live in XMI land, I have to be able to communicate with the world
outside of UIMA. ;-)
All I need is the ability to turn off the extra whitespace to accomplish this.

> Key: UIMA-2101
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/UIMA-2101
> Project: UIMA
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 2.3.1SDK
> Reporter: Steven Bethard
>
> CasToInlineXml adds indentation between adjacent XML elements. E.g. for a
> single character document with a single annotation covering that one
> character, it will write:
> {noformat}
> <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
> <Document>
> <uima.tcas.DocumentAnnotation sofa="Sofa" begin="0" end="1"
> language="x-unspecified">
> <uima.tcas.Annotation sofa="Sofa" begin="0" end="1">
> </uima.tcas.Annotation>
> </uima.tcas.DocumentAnnotation>
> </Document>
> {noformat}
> I think it should instead write everything in a single line, that is:
> {noformat}
> <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
> <Document><uima.tcas.DocumentAnnotation sofa="Sofa" begin="0" end="1"
> language="x-unspecified"><uima.tcas.Annotation sofa="Sofa" begin="0" end="1">
> </uima.tcas.Annotation></uima.tcas.DocumentAnnotation></Document>
> {noformat}
> I believe this could be fixed by replacing the line:
> {noformat}
> XMLSerializer sax2xml = new XMLSerializer(byteArrayOutputStream);
> {noformat}
> with the line:
> {noformat}
> XMLSerializer sax2xml = new XMLSerializer(byteArrayOutputStream, false);
> {noformat}
> I think it's a bug that CasToInlineXml is changing the character offsets, but
> I would also be happy if there was an alternate constructor or a method on
> CasToInlineXml that allowed disabling the formatting.
