[jdom-interest] problem with XMLOutputter and CDATA

[Karsten Opitz]

Hi,
I'm using the XMLOutputter with indent=true & newline=true because I do need
the formatted output for several reasons

Now I'm writing a CDATA section, e.g. 
<tag>
    <![CDATA[aaaa         bbb]]>
</tag>

When I read that back in, I have two choices

(1) getText          ==> "\n   aaaa      bbb\n"
(2) getTextTrim ==> "aaaa  bbb"

Neither of these strings are satisfactory, how can I get the original block
back ? As a workaround, I'm using
    String str = elem.getText();
    str.trim()
Of course, that's not safe either. What if my block of binary data happens
to 
start with a whitespace ?

Any suggestions for a workaround ? Maybe an enhancement request for the
XMLOutputter ?
