[jdom-interest] trivial question

[Van Dooren, Damian]

Paul,

XMLOutputter is really quite easy to use, here is the code I use to convert
a Document to a String.


    private static String convertToString(Document doc, String indent,
boolean newLines) {
        boolean success = true;
        XMLOutputter outputter = new XMLOutputter(indent, newLines);
        ByteArrayOutputStream output = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
        try {
            outputter.output(doc, output);
        }
        catch(IOException ex) {
            success = false;
        }

        if(success) {
            return output.toString();
        }
        else {
            return null;
        }
    }
