Re: adding space in xslt and trimming last space in java-problem

PS: I am now doing some extra coding in Java to bypass it, but I would 
like to do it properly in the xslt transformation (using   in xslt)
           Character c = new Character((char)160);
           id = id.replaceAll(c.toString(), " ");
           id = id.trim();
