Subject: Re: REXML formatting help due to changes from 1.8.4 to 1.8.6

(I see now there's been a lot of discussion about this ;])

SOLUTION:

I changed the following method (where @document is a XML doc. created by 
REXML):

  def write()
    File.open("#{@file_path}", 'w') do |f|
      @document.write(f, 0)
    end
  end

to:

  def write()
    formatter = REXML::Formatters::Default.new
    File.open("#{@file_path}", 'w') do |f|
      formatter.write(@document, f)
    end
  end

after making sure to require 'rexml/formatters/default' and I'm back in 
business.

I can imagine that a lot of people have run into this, and given that 
we're probably generating XML to communicate information to another 
system, I'm sure it has spawned some consternation.  Backwards 
compatibility can be a tricky thing :).

Hope this helps,
Wes
