Thread: Write an xml dom to a xml file

I have got the xml to print in the system, but I want to have that printed into a .xml file, how do I do that? Here is what I got so far

import javax.xml.stream.*;
 
import javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilder;
import javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory;
import org.w3c.dom.Document;
import java.io.*;
 
public class XMLWriter {
 
 
   public static void main(String[] args) throws XMLStreamException  {
 
   File xmlFile = new File("file.xml");
   try{
       Document document;
       FileWriter fstream = new FileWriter(xmlFile);
       BufferedWriter out = new BufferedWriter(fstream);
       DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
       DocumentBuilder builder = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
 
      // Create an output factory
      XMLOutputFactory xmlof = XMLOutputFactory.newInstance();
 
      // Create an XML stream writer
      XMLStreamWriter xmlw = xmlof.createXMLStreamWriter(System.out);
 
      xmlw.writeStartDocument();
      xmlw.writeDTD("<!DOCTYPE file SYSTEM \"file.dtd\">");
      xmlw.writeStartElement("file");
      xmlw.writeEmptyElement("filename");
      xmlw.writeAttribute("filename", "ReadMe.txt");
      xmlw.writeEmptyElement("keyword");
      xmlw.writeAttribute("keyword", "Some word to match");
      xmlw.writeEmptyElement("option");
      xmlw.writeAttribute("option", "matchcase");
 
 
      // Write document end. This closes all open structures
      xmlw.writeEndDocument();
      // Close the writer to flush the output
 
      xmlw.close();
       }catch (Exception e){//Catch exception if any
      System.err.println("Error: " + e.getMessage());
    }
 
   }
 
}

See a) the API for XMLOutputFactory - the method createXMLStreamWriter takes an OutputStream to write to (currently you are using System.out) b) See FileOutputStream (Java Platform SE 6). In other words, create a FileOutputStream and pass this instead of System.out

Ah perfect thank you for that it worked fine all I had to do was this
XMLStreamWriter xmlw = xmlof.createXMLStreamWriter(new FileOutputStream("file.xml"));
and all better
