How to write into file from xml dom Object

Question

Hello,
I try to transform my xml DOM document object into
file. I try the following:
try {
          // Prepare the DOM document for writing
          DOMSource source = new DOMSource(newDoc);
          // Prepare the output file
          File file = new File(myHomeRep + "btLom.xml");
          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) {
But my file is empty.
I do it with some wel formed xml tree document, thus I am certain
that the xml tree exists.
Could you explane me please what I am doeing wrong,
or is there are some possibility to make from my xml dom object
a file.
In advance much thanks,
Julia

Here's one thing you are doing wrong:} catch (TransformerConfigurationException e) {
} catch (TransformerException e) {
}With this code, if an exception occurs then you are guaranteed to know nothing about it. At the minimum do this:} catch (TransformerConfigurationException e) {
  e.printStackTrace();
} catch (TransformerException e) {
  e.printStackTrace();
}
