#20 XML transducer sometimes excludes spaces in data

[Anonymous]

Following code

public static INode convertXMLStringToNode(String contents) throws Exception
{
XMLTransducer xmlTransducer = new XMLTransducer();
StringTransducerAdapter adapter = new StringTransducerAdapter( contents, // the String data
xmlTransducer );
IMetaCollection meta = MetaFactory.createMetaCollection( LogCOPSEventConstants.COPS_TRANSACTION );

meta.setTransducer( adapter );
meta.get();

return meta;
}

parses following XML

strXml = "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?><COPSTransaction>" +
"<VersionSpecification>1.2.0</VersionSpecification>" +

in such a way, that the tag

"<ActionParameter><ActionParameterName>Customer Screen Name</ActionParameterName><Direction>I</Direction><Value>Ydau</Value></ActionParameter></ActionData>" +

parses "Customer Screen Name" as "Customer ScreenName".
The erros is in XMLTransducer in the following method

//*************************************************************************
public void characters(char[] ch,
int start,
int length)
{
//System.out.println( getClass().getName()+": chars "+(new String( ch, start, length ).trim()));
INode node = ( INode ) stack.peek();

if (( null == node.getValue() ) || (bStartingElement)) {
node.setValue( new String( ch, start, length ).trim() );
bStartingElement = false;
}
else {
StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer( length + node.getValue().toString().length() );
sb.append( node.getValue() ).append( ch, start, length );
node.setValue( sb.toString().trim() );
}
}

which should't do trim().

THis was reproduced on Windows Server 2003 with Java 1.5.0.9 and on Fedora Core 6 with Java 1.5.0.9
