Better way to generate XML?

[v - Michael James <vm...@punchnetworks.com>]

We have legacy code which creates XML by doing
stuff like:

StringBuffer result = new StringBuffer( "<?xml version =\"1.0\"?>\n" );
result.append("<xml ID=\"xmlTree\">\n");
result.append("<tree>\n<root>\n");
result.append("  <accountinfo loginid=\"" + getUser().getLoginID());
(and so forth)

I downloaded Xerces-J because I wanted to replace this
with a more formal method of generating XML, in the hopes
this would guarantee it to be well formed.  But I was
disappointed to discover examples such as DOMWriter.java
are doing it the same way we are.

Is there a different tool I should be using to
generate XML output?

Did you look at the serialize functions ??
