[jdom-interest] Losing Format And Indent

[Narasimha Rao Nadella]

I have following code, in which  tArrayElement.toString() will calls
upon itself recursively. tArrayElement is an Value Object which will
contain other value objects and they might contain other Objects.

Ex: Seller Sales Object Containing Buyer Objects, and Buyer Object
containing Address objects etc.

************************************
com.framework.vo.ResultVOBase[] valList =
(com.framework.vo.ResultVOBase[]) valueObj;  
voFieldNode = new Element(fieldName+ "-Array");
voFieldNode.setAttribute(new Attribute("DataType", fieldtype));        
                                                             
voValueNode = new Element("Value");
Element voArrayElement;
for(int array_index =0; array_index < valList.length; array_index++)
{
    Object tArrayElement = valList[array_index];
    String sCurArrayItem = fieldName+ "-Array-"+array_index;           
                
    voArrayElement = new Element(sCurArrayItem);
    if(tArrayElement.toString() == null)
    {
	voArrayElement.addContent("Null");
    }
    else
    {
	//voArrayElement.addContent(serializer.outputString(new
Element(tArrayElement.toString())));                                

voArrayElement.addContent(serializer.escapeElementEntities(tArrayElement.toString()));
                               
    }
    voValueNode.addContent(voArrayElement);                            
}
voFieldNode.addContent(voValueNode);                        
dataNode.addContent(voFieldNode); 
************************************


The first time it calls i get Content well formatted 
<Value>24<Value>.

But when it goes into loop...it lost its formatting and Indenting.

1st Pass: amp;lt;Valueamp;gt;24amp;lt;/Valueamp;gt;
2nd Pass: &amp;amp;lt;Value&amp;amp;gt;24&amp;amp;lt;/Value&amp;amp;gt;

I am using 
            XMLOutputter serializer = new XMLOutputter("    ", true,
"UTF-8");
            serializer.setNewlines(true);
            serializer.setIndent(true);
            serializer.setIndentSize(4);  



I am new to XML and i might be missing something here... I would be
glad if anyone can give me suggestion so that i can retain format.
