Requesting for your kind help...(want to preserve Leading & trailing spaces)

Hello Team,<br /><br />Can you please help in the following issue:<br />I am trying to preserve white space(leading and trailing L&T) as is on the User Interface. We have built our UI using Flex 3.0 SDK. <br /><br />From Java side, I am able to carry the value with L&T spaces till the call goes to Flex .mxml and here response object assigning as <br /><br /> var metaConfig:XML = event.result as XML;<br />But here L&T spaces are not visible along with value of ID.<br />I used to see it by using Alert.show(event.result.toString());<br /> <br />Flex Output is as:<br /><br /> <allScalarMetadataFields><br /> <id>TEST</id><br /> <name>test name</name> <br />.<br /><br />But from java[in Servlet/in service] side I can see the output as:<br /><br /> <allScalarMetadataFields><br /> <id> TEST </id><br /> <name> test name </name><br />.<br /><br />Java(Servlet) code is as follows:<br /> OutputStream writer = response.getOutputStream();<br /> OutputStreamWriter outputStreamWriter = new OutputStreamWriter(writer,"UTF-8");<br />JAXBContext context = JAXBContext.newInstance(object.getClass(), object.getClass());<br /> Marshaller m = context.createMarshaller();<br /> m.marshal(object, writer);<br />.Here marshal follow a standard structure for XML to map it into writer same as what Flex XML follows.....<br /><br />Note, there is no any other issue/fault with Flex and java except this white spaces.<br /> <br />Flex .mxml code is as:<br /><br />protected var _fieldXml:XML;<br /> public function MetadataFieldWrapper(xml:XML = null)<br /> {<br /> if (xml == null)<br /> {<br /> xml = <allScalarMetadataFields xml:space="preserve"><br /> <id /><br /> <name /><br /><br />...<br /><br /> Servlet is getting called as :<br /><br /> _webService = new HTTPService();<br /> _webService.url = serviceUrl;<br /> _webService.method = "POST";<br /> _webService.resultFormat = "e4x";<br /> _webService.contentType = "application/xml";<br /><br />.<br />_webService.headers = { "serviceName":serviceName, "serviceMethod":serviceMethod };<br /> _webService.send(param);<br /><br />I want to preserve the L&T spaces along with ID/name .<br />Please help me how to allow these L& T spaces in Flex XML object?<br /><br /> <br />Thanks in Advance.<br />Regards,<br />Venu.
