Body
For most of our REST services, we are using the automatic marshalling of XML to output our results. Our testing group is reporting that they are getting unexpected new lines in the results (see below). I believe that these two results are equivalent considering that the only difference is ignorable whitespace and that testing should be parsing the results as XML and not doing string comparisons. Regardless, my personal preference would be to render the cleaner tighter version of the XML that testing wants, but my practical side says leave it alone. I've done some digging into the Grails <a href="http://grails.org/doc/latest/ref/Controllers/render.html" rel="nofollow">render</a> command, but don't see any way of controlling this output. I would expect that there would be something that we could setup in Config.groovy to control this as well, but I can't find anything there either. Any suggestions? We are getting: <pre><code><?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <profile id="45"> <management id="6"/> <name> TESTING_MGT_DOC </name> <type> MGT </type> <user id="43"/> </profile> </code></pre> Testing is expecting: <pre><code><?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <profile id="45"> <management id="6"/> <name>TESTING_MGT_DOC</name> <type>MGT</type> <user id="43"/> </profile> </code></pre> We are producing these results from a simple, one-line call in our controller. From ProfileController.groovy <pre><code>... if(param.name){ render profileService.getProfileByName(param.name) as XML } ... </code></pre> From ProfileService.groovy <pre><code>... def getProfileByName(def name){ return Profile.findByProfileName(name) } ... </code></pre>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
