Try setting the feature

http://apache.org/xml/features/dom/include-ignorable-whitespace

to false.  This will keep ignorable whitespace out of the DOM

Subject: ProjectX to Xerces migration


> Hello,
>
> I was developing an application using Sun's ProjectX parser, and now I'm
> migrating it to Xerces Java.
>
> It happens that the two parsers give me two different DOM trees for this
XML:
>
> <definition>
>   <group code='PM'>
>   ...
>
> While Sun's parser ommitted the #text node between the two tags (the
newline),
> Xerces is not ignoring it, although definition's DTD declarations doesn't
allow
> #PCDATA:
>
> <!ELEMENT definition (group)+>
>
> I'm using the validating parser from both packages. Is there a way to
duplicate
> ProjectX's behaviour using Xerces?

> TIA
