Hi,Im looking for some assistance with how Castor marshalls/unmarshallsobjects.Ive written an app that uses triple DES encryption/decryption whichworks fine when applied to JUnit test data but when I make use ofcastor to send the xml data across a network at some point controlcharacters are being inserted into the encrypted data which of coursecauses the decryption to fail. I have resolved the problem bystripping out whitespace from the string before decryption but this isnot ideal, hence my question regarding Castor.The app works fine so long as the string is less than 55 characters,one char above and the control character is inserted and the appfails.I am usingorg.exolab.castor.parser=org.apache.xerces.parsers.SAXParser in thecastor.properties file for parsing the xmlAny help would be appreciated.TIA

Just to add to the above, the data I am trying to parse is between aset of tags, not the whole xml file.

    I think we need a bit more detail. For example, here's my guess at 
what's going on in your situation. Can you say whether this guess is 
correct, and if not, what's wrong with it?

You have some input string "Hello World".
You encrypt it, to get some encrypted String "ABCDEFG".
You use Castor to unmarshall it into an XML document, "<xml>ABCDEFG</xml>"
If you just process the XML document locally, you can successfully extract 
the encrypted string, and decrypt it.
If you try to send the XML document over the network, some mysterious 
control characters, in the form of whitespace, appear, "<xml>ABCDEFG 
</xml>", and you have to do some whitespace trimming to fix things.

    Is this correct?

Yes, Ive found out what Castor does now by capturing its output beforeand after, the examples below show the results.A string longer than 55 chars is carriage returned 
, apparentlythis option is configurable to turn on off but I think Ill stick withmy first approach to trim whitespace before decrypting.Thanks.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
