xml output

[shankar vembu]

Hi,
How do I send raw xml to the client from my servlet..
I have the xml as Element, i get the servletoutputstream, set the content type as text/xml, but i see no APIs using which i can send this Element.. I would like the client to see the raw xml per se.
Thank you,
Shankar.

Here's an example of how you can print the DOM object into the response stream:

/**
 * This method writes XML to a servlet's response stream.
 */
private void writeXmlToResponse(Node xml, HttpServletResponse response) {
    try {
        Source source = new DOMSource(doc);
        Result result = new StreamResult(response.getOutputStream());
        Transformer xformer = TransformerFactory.newInstance().newTransformer();
        xformer.transform(source, result);
    } catch (TransformerConfigurationException e) {
    } catch (TransformerException e) {
    }
}
