The problem probably lies in the issue that dom4j by default does not to try and merge all text nodes together.
So instead it would be good to set the SAXReader.mergeAdjacentText() method to true before parsing. This means that you will need a little more control over your parsing, so you could try this: SAXReader reader = new SAXReader(); reader.setMergeAdjacentText(true); Document document = reader.read(???); Regards, Edwin -- http://www.edankert.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
