Description

I would like to be able to force indent based on a query parameter so that we are not indenting on every call, but only when we need to.

For example,

http://localhost:8080/services/customer?indent=true

It would be nice if indent would accept (yes|y|true|on).

The code might look as follows for the JaxbElementProvider (not sure about Json).

In the marshal method:

if (("on".equalsIgnoreCase(indent)) ||
("yes".equalsIgnoreCase(indent)) ||
("true".equalsIgnoreCase(indent)))

{ ms.setProperty(Marshaller.JAXB_FORMATTED_OUTPUT, Boolean.TRUE); }
