Thread: I need help to figure out what went wrong with my xml-writing.

*Solved by myself. The saved files just required some whitespace and/or indents to work.

Hi. I am currently experimenting with a maze-game, and I am working on an editor for it.
At this time, I am working on a save/load function that use xml.

I manually created a test-document while writing the load-function, and it went well. The end result was exactly as i described in the manually written xml document.

However, when working on the save-function, I set it to first load my manually written test, then save the data (in other words, a copy).
When loading the copy, things didn't go as planned.

For some reason, all the walls are up, when only the ones on the outside and around the center is supposed to.

The .xml files are in the attached .zip.
Also in the .zip is the source-codes for the save and load classes.

Hum... I see.
SSCCE seems a bit complicated, but I will see what I can do to upload such a version of my project.
If I understand that correctly, it would mean I will have to upload all of the source-files related to saving and loading...

Well, I wont do it tonight, a bit too late.
If I don't get a helpful reply by morning, I will start working on an SSCCE.

I am quite sorry, but I forgot about creating that SSCCE version.
I researched areound meself, and figured out that my xml documents simply needs whitespace to work, so all I needed, was to add one line of code in the save-class:

transformer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.INDENT, "yes");
This makes me wonder why that property is off by default, but at least I got it working.

Now my code works as expected, the bug is gone, and this problem is solved.
