Creating XML String DOM

Question

Hi ppl,
I need some help with DOM Object. I have a xml file which I parse with dom and when I do some changes in dom object like adding new element or changing the values of existing object and now when I try to transorm the dom object back to a xml string. It puts everything in one line. for example say my xml file is like:-
<student>
    <name>john</name>
    <result>pass</result>
</student>Now when I add new element <address> to it , change value of existing element and try to get xml string i get something like this
<student><name>smith</name><address>412Miam</address><result>pass</result></student>
Whole xml in one or two lines, instead of proper xml with one element and its value in one line.
Any ideas how to achieve this?

anyway, here is your answer:
transformer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.INDENT,
"yes");
transformer.setOutputProperty("{http://xml.apache.org/x
lt}indent-amount", "1");
