DOM & whitespace Nodes

Hi,

I am parsing an XML document into DOM. I end up with a DOM that contains
everything plus additional text nodes (type 3) containing just "\n". Can I
configure the apache.DOMParser or javax.DocumentBuilder (I am indifferent
to which to use) in such a way that they do not create whitespace nodes?
If not, how can I manage to not get them included -- currently I am
working through the resulting DOM and check all nodes and then remove the
whitespace ones, which seems not the best way of doing it.
My XML file is based on an XML Schema. I also would like to validate it
against the schema, maybe even validate the DOM when changes are made. How
can one do this.
many thanks,
Stephan
