From: laredotornado on 5 Mar 2010 12:10 Hi, I'm using Java 1.5, dom4j 1.6, axis 1.4, cglib 2.1_3, and commons- beanutils 1.7.0. I'm trying to figure out why converting an XML document to a string is not working. I'm trying to build a very simple XML doc like so ... private Document createXMLDocument(String firstName, String lastName, String number, String year, String month, DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance(); DocumentBuilder builder = factory.newDocumentBuilder(); Document document = builder.newDocument(); Element documentRoot = document.createElement("response"); document.appendChild(documentRoot); Element documentElement = document.createElement("firstname"); documentElement.setTextContent(firstName); documentRoot.appendChild(documentElement); documentElement = document.createElement("lastname"); documentElement.setTextContent(lastName); documentRoot.appendChild(documentElement); documentElement = document.createElement("num"); documentElement.setTextContent(number); documentRoot.appendChild(documentElement); documentElement = document.createElement("type"); documentElement.setTextContent(type); documentRoot.appendChild(documentElement); documentElement = document.createElement("year"); documentElement.setTextContent(year); documentRoot.appendChild(documentElement); documentElement = document.createElement("month"); documentElement.setTextContent(month); documentRoot.appendChild(documentElement); return document; } but trying to get the doc as a string produces a partial document (e.g. "<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"? ><response><firstname>DAVE") private String getXMLString(Document document) throws Exception { StringWriter swriter = new StringWriter(); TransformerFactory tFactory = TransformerFactory.newInstance(); Transformer transformer = tFactory.newTransformer(); DOMSource source = new DOMSource(document); StreamResult result = new StreamResult(swriter); transformer.transform(source, result); swriter.close(); return swriter.toString(); } Any ideas why or how to troubleshoot further? Thanks, - Dave

Having corrected the typos and run it, I see <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><response><firstname>a</firstname><lastname>b</lastname><num>c</num><type>f</type><year>d</year><month>e</month></response> |
