JAXB Marshaller indentation
This annoying issue could be fixed by applying javax Transformer to the output.
import javax.xml.transform.*;
import javax.xml.transform.dom.*;
import javax.xml.transform.stream.StreamResult;
Object jaxbElement = // The object you want to marshall using jaxb.
JAXBContext context = JAXBContext.newInstance(jaxbElement.getClass());
Marshaller marshaller = context.createMarshaller();
OutputStream out = // Here your destination, FileOutStream, ByteOutStream etc
DOMResult domResult = new DOMResult();
marshaller.marshal(jaxbElement, domResult);
Transformer transformer = TransformerFactory.newInstance().newTransformer();
transformer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.INDENT, "yes");
transformer.setOutputProperty("{http://xml.apache.org/xslt}indent-amount", "2");
transformer.transform(new DOMSource(domResult.getNode()), new StreamResult(out));
This in an JAXB error, at most 8 levels of indentation are hardcoded:
IndentingUTF8XmlOutput.java:
private void printIndent() throws IOException {
write('\n');
int i = depth%8;
write( indent8.buf, 0, i*unitLen );
i>>=3; // really i /= 8;
for( ; i>0; i-- )
indent8.write(this);
}
