Printing ?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"? at the top of my xml

Can anyone spot where I'm going wrong?
I'm creating a DOMDocument like this:
Document document = null;
DocumentBuilder doc_builder = null;
try
     doc_builder = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
catch(ParserConfigurationException e){/* deal with exception*/}
document = doc_builder.newDocument();Adding various stuff to it, then saving it like this
Source source = new DOMSource(document);
Result result = new StreamResult(idx);
Transformer xformer = TransformerFactory.newInstance().newTransformer();
xformer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.METHOD, "xml");
xformer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.OMIT_XML_DECLARATION, "yes"); //??????
xformer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.ENCODING, "ISO-8859-1");
xformer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.INDENT, "yes");
xformer.setOutputProperty("{http://xml.apache.org/xslt}indent-amount", "4");
xformer.transform(source, result);All the usual stuff.
But how do I get it to write:
<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?>
at the top of the page?
One further thing...
If I have nothing to write in my xml file, it just spits out a blank file.
Instead, I want it to write:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<upIdx/>
a simple:
document.createElement("upIdx");doesn't appear to do anything if the block "upIdx" is subsequently empty.
Many thanks

duugggh....
(well it is friday evening.. ... long week.. all that kind of stuff)
how stupid of me....
to answer my own question, it was here:
xformer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.OMIT_XML_DECLARATION, "no"); //??????
xformer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.VERSION, "1.0");
xformer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.ENCODING, "UTF-8");

  • XML - including: " ?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"? "

    When I parse an XML document and output:
    #xmlCode.XMLRoot.property.autoID#
    I get this line before every field: <?xml version="1.0"
    encoding="UTF-8"?>
    eg.
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <autoID>19</autoID>
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <autoID>53</autoID>
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <autoID>59</autoID>
    How do I stop this? I just want the number from the field.
    I also don't understand why it is UTF-8 when I specify
    iso-8859-1.

    If you use the CFXML tag, you dont need to do the <?xml
    version='1.0' encoding='iso-8859-1'?> line in your code. It will
    do it for you automatically.
    Remove it and it should be fine.
    EX:
    <cfxml variable="rsPropDataXML" casesensitive="no">
    <allData>
    <cfoutput query="rsPropData" maxrows="20">
    <property>
    <autoID>#rsPropData.autoID#</autoID>
    <Tour>#rsPropData.Tour#</Tour>

  • Append messages with out header tag " ?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?

    Hi all,
    I am doing file to file scenario.When I use APPEND in the File adapter it is also adding <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
    I need to send a file for every 10 minutes consolidate all files and send at the end of the day.
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
    <ID>31154</ID>
    The next time when i send the file with different< ID>31155</ID>
    it should append ignoring <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
    The consolidated file must look like this...
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
    <ID>31154</ID>
    < ID>31155</ID>
    Thanks ,
    Srinivas

    Hey
    as pointed out by everyone else,there is no straight way for this,one thing u can do is that create two separate scenarios.
    in first scenario use content conversion on receiver side and keep on appending the text for 10 mins (guess this is ur pooling interval),now since ur using FCC u wont get <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>,you will get a flat file on receiver side.
    after 10 mins u can have one more scenario which picks up this flat file and this time use FCC on sender side so that it will convert this flat file to XML,in this way you will get <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> only once.
    hope this solves ur problem.
    just make sure that you specify correct polling intervals for both the scenarios.
    thanx

  • SmartForm Spool: Line missing: ?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ? sf

    Hello all,
    The spools of a SmartForm that I developed are missing the line:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?><sf>
    The spool starts with:
    <smartxsf xmlns="urn:sap-com:SmartForms:2000:xsf"><header><general><version>1.14.2<  (so on...)
    The Functional Counsultant wants the spool to look like:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?><sf><smartxsf xmlns="urn:sap-com:SmartForms:2000:xsf"><header><general><version>1.14.2<  (so on...)
    Only such a spool can be printed successfully. If the line is missing, no print out can be taken.
    Could you please tell me what settings need to be done in order to see the missing line in the spools?
    Thanks and regards,

  • How to insert ?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"? before an element

    Hi, I have a message which must contain XML inside XML, this internal one must start off with the <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> string.
    Is there a nice trick for inserting this before an element? (not at the beginning of the mapping, a specific place further inside the XML).
    All of the other elements are mapped as part of the message type.

    Did you check Message Mapping : Play around with target structure .
    You can do this easily with UDF.
    public String setPrevalue(String var1,Container container) {
         StructureNode node = ((StructureNode) container.getParameter("STRUCTURE_NODE"));
         node.setPreValue("<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"utf-8\"?>");

  • Adding  " ?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"? "   in generated xmls

    Hi,
    I am using xmlbeans framework to generate xmls , i am able to generate xml using document object but header "<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>" is not coming in that xml file , how to include this in output xml files.

    Hi,
    I don't know the XMLBeans Framework, but this header is called XML declaration.
    In general there are options to configure this (i. e. setOption("omit-xml-declaration", false);).
    Anyway, I don't know the exact syntax in this framework but have a look at this, maybe it helps somehow.

  • Remove ?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?   from XML doc

    I have generated an XML file using javax XML transformer. In the XML file thats generated I have the version and the encoding line
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    which is automatically generated in my XML file. Is there any way that I can avoid that from the XML file thats generated.
    Here is the transformer that I have used.
    public static void printToXML(String fileName){
               try{
                    File file = new File(fileName);
                    Transformer tr = TransformerFactory.newInstance().newTransformer();
                    tr.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.INDENT, "yes");
                    tr.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.METHOD,"xml");
                    tr.setOutputProperty("{http://xml.apache.org/xslt}indent-amount", "3");
                    tr.transform( new DOMSource(dom),new StreamResult(new FileWriter(file)));
               }catch(TransformerConfigurationException tcex){
                    logger.info("TransformerConfigurationException at printToXML method in CSVtoXML.java");
                    logger.error("TransformerConfigurationException", tcex);
               }catch(TransformerException tex){
                    logger.info("TransformerException at printToXML method in CSVtoXML.java");
                    logger.error("TransformerException", tex);
               }catch(IOException ioex){
                    logger.info("IOException at printToXML method in CSVtoXML.java");
                    logger.error("IOException", ioex);
          }

    Well, it is a pretty important line. Why do you need it removed? Anything that really processes XML knows how to read it and determine what encoding was used. That is vital, if you look at the number of questions posted here about foreign language text in XML. If you really have a text processsor that knows how to open a file called something.xml, and knows how to process or ignore most of the pointy bracket things, but not this one, it is time to fix it.
