Problem in creating XML using DOM

Hi All,

I am writing a servlet code which is supposed to retrieve data from a hashmap, then create an XML file and send it to a javascript that has AJAX functions.
I am using DOM to achieve this. My problem is when I convert the DOM file back into the string to be sent to the javascript, it is not getting formatted properly.
e.g. if i have created a DOM file like <customer><fname>abc</fname><lname>xyz</lname></customer>, the corresponding string turns into:
<customer><fname>abcxyz</fname></lname></customer>.
I am sure I am missing out something very basic here, but I am not sure what.
Would be glad if anybody can help !
Here's my code for the same:

BankCustomer UserDetails= BankCustomer.getCustomer(userName); //This is my bean which gets data from a hashmap
              
                   DocumentBuilderFactory builderFactory =  DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
                   DocumentBuilder docBuilder = builderFactory.newDocumentBuilder();
                  //creating a new instance of a DOM to build a DOM tree.
                  Document doc = docBuilder.newDocument();
                //  new XmlServlet().createXmlTree(doc);
                  Element root = doc.createElement("customer");
                    //adding a node after the last child node of the specified node.
                 doc.appendChild(root);
                 
                    Element child1 = doc.createElement("fname");
                    root.appendChild(child1);                
                    Text text1 = doc.createTextNode(UserDetails.getFirstName());
                    child1.appendChild(text1);

Element child2 = doc.createElement("lname");
                    root.appendChild(child2);
                    Text text2 = doc.createTextNode(UserDetails.getLastName());
                    child1.appendChild(text2);

TransformerFactory factory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
                      Transformer transformer = factory.newTransformer();

transformer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.INDENT, "yes");

// create string from xml tree
                      StringWriter sw = new StringWriter();
                      StreamResult result = new StreamResult(sw);
                      DOMSource source = new DOMSource(doc);
                      transformer.transform(source, result);
                      String xmlString = sw.toString();
                    
                                        
                    response.setContentType("text/xml");
                    response.setHeader("Cache-Control", "no-cache");
                    response.getWriter().write(xmlString); //this is the string that is not getting formed properly
