Join David Gassner for an in-depth discussion in this video Outputting an XML file with JDOM, part of Java: XML Integration.
I've previously described how to output an XML document…in JDOM to a string, using the class XML outputter.…The XML outputter class has a structure method.…And you can pass in a format object to determine the format of the XML string.…And of course, once you have a string, you can output that to anywhere.…But if your goal is to create an XML file say on disk, you can use…a shortcut.…I'm working in a project called JDOMTtoXMLFile.…
And I'll add just a couple more lines of code.…I'm in the main method of the create XML with JDOM class.…I've already created the XML outputter object and…used it once to create the XML string.…And I don't need to recreate it.…I can use that object again to create a file.…The outputter object…has a method called output.…Just like the output string method, you can pass in a number of…different types of XML objects: documents, elements, C data sections and so on.…
But then the output method has a second argument, and…you can pass in an output stream or a writer object.…I'll use the Java file writer class.…
