I am simply trying to write DOM to an xml file. Here is my code:
// This method writes a DOM document to a file
public static void writeXmlFile(Document doc, String filename) {
try {
// Prepare the DOM document for writing
DOMSource source = new DOMSource(doc);

// Prepare the output file
File file = new File(filename);
file.createNewFile();
StreamResult result = new StreamResult(file);

// Write the DOM document to the file
Transformer xformer = TransformerFactory.newInstance().newTransformer();
xformer.transform(source, result);
} catch (TransformerConfigurationException e) {
} catch (TransformerException e) {
} catch (IOException ioe){
}
}

The incoming filename string is c:\coverted\test.xml. If I create my StreamResult by doing new StreamResult(System.out), it prints out fine. What the hell am i doing wrong? I tried throwin in "file.createNewFile();" because I thougth the transformer might not create the file if it does not exist...but now it just creates the file, and doesnt put any data in it. thx in advance.
