Pretty Print Xml Data In Jsp

How do I pretty print (ie. with indentation) XML data in the JSP? I have the following code:

Solution 1:

XSLT has a simple means of doing this via the xsl:output element. If you can apply an XSLT, I suggest using a stylesheet like this (based on the identity transformation):
<?xml version="1.0"?><xsl:stylesheetversion="1.0"xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"><xsl:strip-spaceelements="*" /><xsl:outputmethod="xml"indent="yes" /><xsl:templatematch="node()|@*"><xsl:copy><xsl:apply-templatesselect="node()|@*" /></xsl:copy></xsl:template></xsl:stylesheet>
Solution 2:

If you want a simple solution, don't bother with xsl while setting response for JSP to look at, just do stuff.replaceAll("<", "& lt;").replaceAll(">","& gt; "); You don't need anything else; no XSL transformation needed here. Use technologies when they are essential, unless I am missing something here.
Solution 3:

You can pretty print JSLT with Pretty Diff at http://prettydiff.com/?m=beautify It will do exactly what you need. Consider the following example:
<a><c:outvalue="<strong>some content</strong>"/></a>
Pretty Diff is capable of recognizing multidimensional tags so long as the nested tag is in quotes.
