Return an XML as a String

[Maximiliano Barone]

I would like to return an XML with all its tags in a String (I am
developing with Java).
I have built the Document in a DOM an then I want to convert it into a
String.

public String MyWebService (String parameter)
{}

Thanks in advance.

This is called serialization. If you use Xerces, you can use Xerces'
serialization classes.

You can use JDOM to do it ...

Use the DOMBuilder class to turn the DOM tree to a JDOM tree.

Then use JDOM's XMLOutputter class (with the "" indent option
to create the XML as a string) and the method outputString method
to write the XML.

IMO, if you are using Java and DOM, you'd gain a lot by
just using JDOM and passing on DOM.
