create XML:

public void generateDocument() {

Document document = DocumentHelper.createDocument();

Element catalogElement = document.addElement("catalog");

catalogElement.addComment("An XML Catalog");

catalogElement.addProcessingInstruction("target", "text");

Element journalElement = catalogElement.addElement("journal");

journalElement.addAttribute("title", "XML Zone");

journalElement.addAttribute("publisher", "IBM developerWorks");

Element articleElement = journalElement.addElement("article");

articleElement.addAttribute("level", "Intermediate");

articleElement.addAttribute("date", "December-2001");

Element titleElement = articleElement.addElement("title");

titleElement.setText("Java configuration with XML Schema");

Element authorElement = articleElement.addElement("author");

Element firstNameElement = authorElement.addElement("firstname");

firstNameElement.setText("Marcello");

Element lastNameElement = authorElement.addElement("lastname");

lastNameElement.setText("Vitaletti");

document.addDocType("catalog", null, "file:///home/juyon/catalog.dtd");

try {

XMLWriter output = new XMLWriter(new FileWriter(new File(

"/home/juyon/catalog.xml")));

output.write(document);

output.close();

} catch (IOException e) {

System.out.println(e.getMessage());

}
