[castor-user] castor 1.3 properties not working?

[Ken . Wagnitz]

My first post to this list, so I hope this email is OK.
(Werner made me do it.)


With respect to: 
http://www.mail-archive.com/user@castor.codehaus.org/msg07192.html

The following code snippet:

            ...
        osw = new OutputStreamWriter(output.getOutputStream(), 
TagDBInstance.ENCODING);
                ...
        Marshaller marshaller = new Marshaller(osw);
        marshaller.setEncoding(TagDBInstance.ENCODING);
        marshaller.setSuppressNamespaces(true);
        marshaller.setValidation(CGateProperties.get("tag-validate-db", 
"yes").equalsIgnoreCase("yes"));
        marshaller.setProperty("org.exolab.castor.indent", "true");
        marshaller.marshal(installation); // write out to the file 
<path>.new
        osw.close();

results in a file containing:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Installation><OID>1a4bcf00-0fb2-102c-961c-f8fc7867ab87</OID><DBVersion>2.2</DBVersion>........

ie the  marshaller.setProperty("org.exolab.castor.indent", "true"); line 
is not working.

This is in castor 1.3.

Either there is something wrong in the code, or it is a bug.
If it is the code, I'd appreciate being set straight.

Unfortunately the documentation seems to be lagging behind the releases, 
so I'm using net searches for answers to my castor problems.
