OuputFormat and XMLSerializer's alternative?

[Denny]

I am making a sample web service program using WSDL and SOAP under JDK
1.4. To make that, I used a source below included in XML and JAVA;
developing web application 2nd Edition. As you know, Since the two
classes, OutputFomat and XMLSerializer, had been deprecated, I can't
use that source. To use that source, How I can modify it?? plz let me
know the ....

You should not read or write SOAP yourself.

Use a web service toolkit to handle that.

Besides OutputFomat and XMLSerializer are not deprecated
according to:
