Print XML from tree

Question

Hey, I'm trying to print tree nodes into XML. The code below prints out the tags, but I have no way of getting the end tags identified and printed. Any help will be much appreciated.
public static void printDescendents(TreeNode node){
System.out.prinln(node);  
Enumeration children = root.children();
   if (children != null){
      while children.hasMoreElements()){
         printDescendents((TreeNode) children.nextElement());
}

Answer 1

I have no idea whether printing the node prints a start tag or an end tag or what. But here's what I would do:public static void printDescendants(TreeNode node){
  // print start tag
  Enumeration children = node.children();
  if (children != null){
    while children.hasMoreElements()){
      printDescendants((TreeNode) children.nextElement());
  // print end tag
}I also corrected the spelling of your method name and changed the Enumeration so it gets the children of the node the method is dealing with.
Looking at the result, I wouldn't call the method printDescendants if it's also going to print data from the node itself. Maybe printNode would be a better name.
