Indent XML made with Transformer

Question

I am trying to create XML from Java and am having problems with indenting. In the following code you can see OutputKeys.INDENT set to yes...

        //set up a transformer
        TransformerFactory transfac = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
        Transformer trans = transfac.newTransformer();
        trans.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.OMIT_XML_DECLARATION, "yes");
        trans.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.INDENT, "yes");

        //create string from xml tree
        StringWriter sw = new StringWriter();
        StreamResult result = new StreamResult(sw);
        DOMSource source = new DOMSource(doc);
        trans.transform(source, result);
        String xmlString = sw.toString();

        //print xml
        System.out.println(xmlString);

but it seems to have no affect, the output is:

<dataset id="1"><br>
<path></path><br>
<session id="1"><br>
<method><br>
<timestamp>a timestamp</timestamp><br>
<signiture><br>
<classPath></classPath><br>
<name>methodName</name><br>
<declarationType>String</declarationType><br>
<parameters><br>
<parameter>String</parameter><br>
<parameter>int</parameter><br>
</parameters><br>
</signiture><br>
<arguments><br>
<argument>SomeValue</argument><br>
<argument>AnotherValue</argument><br>
</arguments><br>
<return>ReturnValue</return><br>
</method><br>
</session><br>
</dataset><br>

Try to set indent-amount, AFAIK the default is 0.

trans.setOutputProperty("{http://xml.apache.org/xslt}indent-amount", "4")
