Java EE (Java Enterprise Edition) General Discussion

Hello all,
I have searched this forum for a solution to my problem...apparently this is a common problem but I am unable to come up with a solution.

I have an xml document that has the following:

<ServiceListing>
<ServiceName>dufus</ServiceName>
<ServiceHost>1.1.1.1</ServiceHost>
<ServicePort>12343</ServicePort>
</ServiceListing>

<ServiceListing>
<ServiceName>duffer</ServiceName>
<ServiceHost>1.1.1.1</ServiceHost>
<ServicePort>123/n</ServicePort>
</ServiceListing>

Now when I add a new "record" it is written in one continuous line like so:

<ServiceListing>
<ServiceName>dufus</ServiceName>
<ServiceHost>1.1.1.1</ServiceHost>
<ServicePort>12343</ServicePort>
</ServiceListing>
<ServiceListing>
<ServiceName>duffer</ServiceName>
<ServiceHost>1.1.1.1</ServiceHost>
<ServicePort>123/n</ServicePort>
</ServiceListing>
<ServiceListing><ServiceName>fgh</ServiceName><ServiceHost>2.2.2.2</ServiceHost><ServicePort>2211/n</ServicePort></ServiceListing>

My code that generates this is:

        Document document = this.getDocument();
        Text newLineText = document.createTextNode("/n");
        //CREATE THE ROOT ELEMENT FOR THIS NODE
        Element serviceListingRoot = document.createElement("ServiceListing");
       
        
        //CREATE THE FIRST CHILD ELEMENT SERVICENAME
        Element serviceNameElement = document.createElement("ServiceName");
        serviceListingRoot.appendChild(serviceNameElement);
        Text serviceNameText = document.createTextNode(serviceName);
        serviceNameElement.appendChild(serviceNameText);
        serviceNameElement.appendChild(newLineText);
        
        //CREATE THE SECOND CHILD ELEMENT HOSTNAME
        Element hostNameElement = document.createElement("ServiceHost");
        //APPEND THE ELEMENT TO THE ROOT NODE
        serviceListingRoot.appendChild(hostNameElement);
        Text hostNameText = document.createTextNode(serviceHost);
        //APPEND THE TEXT NODE TO THE ELEMENT NODE
        hostNameElement.appendChild(hostNameText);
        hostNameElement.appendChild(newLineText);
        
        //CREATE THE THIRD CHILD ELEMENT PORTNAME
        Element portNameElement = document.createElement("ServicePort");
        //APPEND THE ELEMENT TO THE ROOT NODE
        serviceListingRoot.appendChild(portNameElement);
        Text portNameText  = document.createTextNode(servicePort);
        //APPEND THE TEXT NODE TO THE ELEMENT NODE
        portNameElement.appendChild(portNameText);
        portNameElement.appendChild(newLineText);
        
        Element root = document.getDocumentElement();
        Node lastNode = root.appendChild(serviceListingRoot);
        this.serializeDOM(document); //THIS SEEMS TO IGNORE THE NEWLINETEXT(ZERO LENGHT STRING INSERT WHEN VIEWWED WITH WORDPAD

     }

Now for the following line I have tried the following:

Text newLineText = document.createTextNode("/n");
Text newLineText = document.createTextNode("");
Text newLineText = document.createTextNode("& # 1 0 ;");

None work.
SHould I be creating a new TextNode?
Is there a better way to insert a newline in my xml doc?
Perhaps it is in my serializeDOM method?

Here it is:

   public void serializeDOM(Document document) throws IOException
   {
       OutputFormat of = new OutputFormat(document);
       FileWriter writer = new FileWriter(GSM_FILE);
       XMLSerializer serializer = new XMLSerializer();
       of.setPreserveSpace(true);
       of.setLineSeparator(System.getProperty("line.separator"));
       of.setLineWidth(0);
       serializer.setOutputCharStream(writer);
       serializer.asDOMSerializer();
       serializer.serialize(document);
       writer.flush();
       writer.close();
       of = null;
       serializer = null;
   }

Thanks for any advice!
