Ignoring whitespaces without DTD validation

843834Mar 29 2005 — edited Mar 29 2005

Hi!
I've been having some problems parsing an XML file with DOM, because I get text Nodes for each "new line" symbol in the file, and I want these to be ignored, so I tried to put the "setIgnoringElementContentWhitespace" of the DocumentBuilderFactory to true.

The problem is that this property requires the parser to be in validating mode, and I don't have the DTD of the xml file... so I'd like it to be non validating.

Can it be done?
