Formatting problem with JDOM

Question

friends,
help me out plz..
While creating a xml document using JDOM ,
I am not able to get the formatted xml file.
program output is:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<person><name>A</name><name>B</name><name>C</name><name>D</name></person>
I want the result as:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<person>
     <name>A</name>
     <name>B</name>
     <name>C</name>
     <name>D</name>
</person>
// XMLGenerator.java
import org.jdom.Element;
import org.jdom.Document;
import org.jdom.output.XMLOutputter;
import java.io.*;
public class XMLGenerator {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception{
Element root = new Element("employee");
while(rs.next()) // rs .. ResultSet
Element emp_name= new Element("name");
emp_name.setText(rs.getString(rs.getString("name")));
root.addContent(emp_name);
Document doc = new Document(root);
// serialize it into a file
try {
FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream("record.xml");
XMLOutputter serializer = new XMLOutputter();
serializer .setIndent(true);
serializer.output(doc, out);
out.flush();
out.close();
catch (IOException e) {
System.err.println(e);

Answer 1

try:
XMLOutputter serializer = new XMLOutputter( " " );
with the size of the indent you require.
You dont really need the line: serializer.setIndent(true); if u use this constructor.
Hope this Helps
