#4299 [HHQ-4187] HQApi does not preserve whitespace within attribu

[Hyperic Team]

http://jira.hyperic.com/browse/HHQ-4187


When syncing XML the XML binding layer is translating white-space characters into spaces. This includes newline characters as well as tabs.

From looking at the JAXB documentation this should not be the case for xs:string elements, the contents should be read as-is without manipulation.

This means that it's impossible to include tabs or newlines within attributes. This could cause problems with regex or event log patterns.
