A frequent question is "Okay, I have a DOM, and I made some changes to it, now how do I write it out to an XML file?"
Here's a method that does that for a given org.w3c.dom.Node object (usually an instance of org.w3c.dom.Element or org.w3c.dom.Document):
import java.io.*;
import javax.xml.transform.*;
import javax.xml.transform.dom.*;
import javax.xml.transform.stream.*;
import org.w3c.dom.*;
public class Util {
public static void doc2file(Node node, String path) {
try {
Source source = new DOMSource(node);
File out = new File(path);
Result result = new StreamResult(out);
TransformerFactory factory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
Transformer transformer = factory.newTransformer();
transformer.transform(source, result);
} catch (TransformerConfigurationException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (TransformerException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
