Writing and Reading from a XML file

About the welformedness of the XML File, perhaps you could include the DTD of the XML File in the document,sth like

<!DOCTYPE foo SYSTEM foo.dtd>

then set your DOM Parser Factory to be validating e.g

factory=DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();

factory.setValidating(true);

Hope it helps

Code snippet

===========

OutputFormat outputFormat = new OutputFormat("XML","ISO-8859-1",true);

.......

outputFormat.setDoctype(null,"emp.dtd")

It adds the DOCTYPE element but doesnt create the .DTD file.

<!DOCTYPE ROOT_EL SYSTEM "emp.dtd">

Any ideas?
