writing a DOM DOcument to file

[Sampath K Settipalli <Sa...@genome.wi.mit.edu>]

Hi,

    Is there any thing in Xerces similar to TXDocument.toXMLString()  so
that we can use the returned String to write to a File ?
    All I want is write a DOM Document to a  File.

Thanks in Advance,
Sampath

You can use org.apache.xml.XMLSerializer to serialize a Document, i.e.:
XMLSerializer serializer = new XMLSerializer(System.out, new
OutputFormat(doc));
serializer.asDOMSerializer();
serializer.serialize(doc);

Also, Xerces provides implementation [1] for DOM Level 3 Load and Save
[2]. This API allows you to load and serialize document.

Note: DOM Level 3 is a Working Draft, which represents work in progress
and thus the API may be changed.

For more information see DOM3.java sample [3].
