I need to create an XML using RIM API; the following are the samples code I used for it.

DocumentBuilderFactory dBFactory = DocumentBuilderFactory

.newInstance();

DocumentBuilder dBuilder = dBFactory.newDocumentBuilder();

Document myDocument = dBuilder.newDocument();

 

Element Root = myDocument.createElement("Root");

Element TagOne = myDocument.createElement("TagOne");

TagOne.setNodeValue("1");

 

Root.appendChild(TagOne);

myDocument.appendChild(Root);

 

ByteArrayOutputStream  os = new ByteArrayOutputStream();

XMLWriter writer = new XMLWriter(os);

writer.setPrettyPrint();

DOMInternalRepresentation.parse(myDocument, writer);

String myXML = new String(os.toByteArray());

And I got the result XML like

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<Root>

< TagOne />

</Root>

I have two doubts regarding this..

Why the value not set for “TagOne” like <TagOne>1</TagOne>

How we can set an encoding to this XML like  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

I am using JDE 4.2.1

Is there any easy way for create XML with a given encoding, can any one provide me a sample code will deeply appreciated

You are missing a text node

Element TagOne = myDocument.createElement("TagOne");

Text TagOneText = myDocument.createTextNode("1");

TagOne.appendChild(TagOneText);

then add the tag one element to the root.

thanks for your kind help

how i can give encoding like "utf-8" for this xml....

yourstring.getBytes("UTF-8");

String string = new String(byte[], "UTF-8");

I think you cannot tell XMLWriter what encoding to use. Theoretically, if there is no other specification for the encoding, XML documents are interpreted as UTF-8 or UTF-16 (a byte order mark at the start, or the absence of one, determines which). If you want something else, I think you're out of luck if you want to stick with XMLWriter.

I have no idea if XMLWriter actually uses UTF-8. I've never experimented with it. I wouldn't be surprised if it uses ISO-8859-1 (which would be rather unfortunate).

I've been playing around with this for a bit now. I have created a Document with the DocumentBuilder, added elements in it, and when I ask getXMLEncoding() I get null.
