writer Sample CursorWriter.java

Located in the

<javaee.tutorial.home>/examples/stax/writer

directory,

CursorWriter.java

demonstrates how to use the StAX cursor API to write an

XML stream.

Creating the Output Factory

The first step is to create an instance of

XMLOutputFactory

XMLOutputFactory xof = XMLOutputFactory.newInstance();

Creating a Stream Writer

The next step is to create an instance of

XMLStreamWriter

XMLStreamWriter xtw = null;

Writing the Stream

The final step is to write the XML stream. Note that the stream is flushed and
closed after the final

EndDocument

is written:

xtw = xof.createXMLStreamWriter(new FileWriter(fileName));
xtw.writeComment("all elements here are explicitly in the HTML
namespace");
xtw.writeStartDocument("utf-8","1.0");
xtw.setPrefix("html", "http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40");
xtw.writeStartElement("http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-
html40","html");
xtw.writeNamespace("html", "http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40");
xtw.writeStartElement("http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-
html40","head");
xtw.writeStartElement("http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-
html40","title");
xtw.writeCharacters("Frobnostication");
xtw.writeEndElement();
