Hi Guys,
 
I have found the problem.  When the xml is outputted, whitespaces are
added.  It wasn't a line break, but a whitespaces, which caused line
wrapping.  If i strip the whitespaces the encryption process suceeds.  Is
this my parser or XMLOutputter?
 
Thanks,
 
Brett

Hello Brett, 

Just a though - have you checked that it isn't your base 64 encoding that
is putting the line breaks in? Or is it unboken if you dump the string to
stdout before you add it to the JDOM tree?

yeah, but in a ATTLIST not individual ELEMENT tags here is a portion of my
DTD

<!ELEMENT BC:patient (BC:dummy*)>
<!ATTLIST BC:patient
BC_UID CDATA #IMPLIED
firstName CDATA #IMPLIED
lastName CDATA #IMPLIED
address CDATA #IMPLIED

For example, I will get line breaks in strings like the lastName
attribute.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE BC:blue_card SYSTEM "blue_card.dtd">
<BC:blue_card xmlns:BC="http://mdh-fyi.health.state.mn.us">
  <BC:patient BC_UID="Wed Jul 09 14:47:48 CDT 2003"
firstName="LfkafI1LN7I=4ZQ9W/dhbM3HourBRHS0bw==" lastName="8SBngTYO
uow=x3cQ7NJB9wf4vk0xirxohiomjL95ITc3yKE1GFOtOdlUsbe+tC6Sb677W0INd6jDJhKP+vsvZ9lA
P60Bcv8mXw==" address="Hl0egDSZkp0=kYSsHrBEfnSf/TDJtjyRHQ==" 

Seems as if when the string hits a certain size, it line breaks.  It
almost would have to be a xml formatting thing, or the native file system
modifies as it is outputted.

thanks,

Brett

Are you using CDATA tags around the encrypted portions
of your xml?
