Output a XML String without the encoding

RE: [jdom-interest] Question about ElementScanner

Hi All,

Is there a way I can ouput the XML string off a Document, without the first line containing the encoding.

( The line with <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> )

Iam talking to a external system, which for some reason does not want the encoding.

Currently this is what I do

public String toString()
   {
   XMLOutputter outputter = new XMLOutputter();
   return outputter.outputString(myDocument);
   }

Regards

Mahesh

Thanks for all the responses to my question. I did finally get this working
using Xpath. I was avoiding an XSLT solution because I'd rather do as much
as I can in Java if possible (personal preference). I'm new to JDOM, so just
getting my sea legs as to where the boundaries are. I assumed someone else
had desired to do what I was seeking to do and had already established a
Java/JDOM solution.

Which then made me think: why not use XSLT instead?

        Try using XPath to select all elements you want to replace then
manipulate these elements via the JDOM API.

        E.g. to find all elements called "x" anywhere in a document use the
XPath "//x", or to find all elements called "x" with an attribute "a" with
the value "example" you could use the XPath "//x[@a='example']". XPath is
very powerful for performing potentially conditional selection of elements,
attributes, text nodes etc. especially if you use the various axes and
built-in functions.

                Hi there,

                I want to create a way to search through XML documents and
perform a search and replace on certain elements regardless of their place
in the hierarchy. I'm thinking ElementScanner is useful here? If so, can
someone point me to an example of its use. If not, can you suggest
another/better way?

                Thanks,

                Mike
