XOM API for Processing XML with Java

["Stevenson, Todd (GE Healthcare)" <Todd.T.Stevenson AT ge.com>]

This method:

import nu.xom.Document;
import nu.xom.Element;
import nu.xom.Serializer;

    void createXML() throws IOException {

        Element root = new Element("Root");
        Element child = new Element("Child");

        child.appendChild("\n          first line   \n          second 
line\n");
        root.appendChild(child);

        Document doc = new Document(root);

        Serializer serializer = new Serializer(System.out, "ISO-8859-1");
        serializer.setIndent(4);
        serializer.setMaxLength(100);
        serializer.write(doc);
    }

Generates this output:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<Root>
    <Child> first line second line </Child>
</Root>


Note that it discards the extra white space and newline characters.     I 
want to be able to preserve this whitespace to the output XML document.

Thanks

Do you have code that demonstrates what's happening?
