JDK packaged JAXP transformer indent no longer working in OpenJDK 11 (original) (raw)

Hi Niels

Yes, it's caused by JDK-8087303. But it's not a regression.

This change has no impact to any xml parser at all, although it is not backward-compatible for the human readability,

Actually JDK-8087303 tried to make the form better, but the serializer can't distinguish whether the space is a meaningful content or just an indentation made by the author, so we had to regard the spaces as xml data content.

I think your program should not depend on any specified data format, so you have not any impact indeed, don't you?

Thanks Frank

Subject: JDK packaged JAXP transformer indent no longer working in OpenJDK 11

Hi JDK devs, we recently started to upgrade from OpenJDK 8 to 11 and noticed that the Xalan transformer shipped with the JDK is not handling whitespace indentation properly anymore. Whilst it is not impacting the validity of the XML produced, it is rather annoying that indented results now have extra line breaks. E.g. we post-process some generated XSD files for publication but when done in OpenJDK 11 they look horrible. There are a few people seeing this issue: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/53596202/javax-xml-transform-transformer-line-endings-no-longer-respect-system-property This is not same as your issue.

https://github.com/CodeFX-org/java-9-wtf/tree/master/xml-transformer This talks about JDK-8087303. These changes were described in JDK 9 release notes.
