Consolidate XML End Tag on a single line

Question

By default, it seems JAXB puts the end tag on the second line. For example:
<w:Element w:prefix="c" w:name="Person" w:isReference="false">
</w:Element>
Is there any way to tell the Marshaller to put the end tag on the same line so the output would be:
<w:Element w:prefix="c" w:name="Person" w:isReference="false"/>

I use JAXP+Sax to generate XML files. Here a sample example:
import java.io.*;
// SAX classes.
import org.xml.sax.*;
import org.xml.sax.helpers.*;
//JAXP 1.1
import javax.xml.parsers.*;
import javax.xml.transform.*;
import javax.xml.transform.stream.*;
import javax.xml.transform.sax.*;
// PrintWriter from a Servlet
PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
StreamResult streamResult = new StreamResult(out);
SAXTransformerFactory tf = (SAXTransformerFactory) SAXTransformerFactory.newInstance();
// SAX2.0 ContentHandler.
TransformerHandler hd = tf.newTransformerHandler();
Transformer serializer = hd.getTransformer();
serializer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.ENCODING,"ISO-8859-1");
serializer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.DOCTYPE_SYSTEM,"users.dtd");
serializer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.INDENT,"false");/////////////////////// Not Indented XML File but has smaller size
hd.setResult(streamResult);
hd.startDocument();
AttributesImpl atts = new AttributesImpl();
// USERS tag.
hd.startElement("","","USERS",atts);
// USER tags.
String[] id = {"PWD122","MX787","A4Q45"};
String[] type = {"customer","manager","employee"};
String[] desc = {"Tim@Home","Jack&Moud","John D'o�"};
for (int i=0;i<id.length;i++)
  atts.clear();
  atts.addAttribute("","","ID","CDATA",id);
atts.addAttribute("","","TYPE","CDATA",type[i]);
hd.startElement("","","USER",atts);
hd.characters(desc[i].toCharArray(),0,desc[i].length());
hd.endElement("","","USER");
hd.endElement("","","USERS");
hd.endDocument();
This line: serializer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.INDENT,"false");/////////////////////// Not Indented XML File but has smaller size sets the identation of the xml file. See whether there is an equivalent with JAXB
Hope that Helps
