trimming spaces and partial marschalling

Hi,

Two questions :

1/ Why does the Zeus framework trim leading spaces of PCDATA ?

Example : <root><brol> hello world !!     </brol></root>
In brol Object, getText() gives only "hello world !!". Leading spaces unfortunately disapear !!

What if I receive important spaces at the beginning of data ???


2/ Is it possible to partially marschall an XML document ?

Example : <root><brol><subbrol><nested1/></subbrol></brol></root>

Assuming that I can't change the XML document (it means that i can't add CDATA section).

How can I get the content of brol tag as XML fragment ? I don't want it to be Java bound object..

Namely something like : brol.getChildAsXML() => "<subbrol><nested1/></subbrol>".



Please help,
greetings
