XMLWriter xml header ( how to write)

[piza...@gmail.com]

My question is this : How can I get XML writer to write the xml header

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

 

I have an set of Elements i.e. < tag1></tag1><tag2></tag2> etc etc.

which has been generated from  using XMLParser reading an xml file.

  - This gives <ROOT> <tags ....   /tags>.

After updateing the elements and values I now want to write the xml back to a file or a string.

 Element myElements ; // Already propogated element

 

        XMLWriter xmlWriter = new XMLWriter(false);
        StringWriter stringWriter = new StringWriter();

        xmlWriter.writeXML(stringWriter,myElements);

 

Do i need to create and Element "?XML" with the correct set attributes?

 - but this means a tag <?xml> </?xml>  which breaks xml headers

Or do I have to add the headerr string manually before using XMLwriter?

any ideas?

Just use:

stringWriter.write("<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"utf-8\"?>\n");

Before passing the string writer to the writeXML method.

Its probably something we should add to the XMLWriter.
