Turn off ?xml version = '1.0'?

Question

I am using OracleXMLQuery to get a XML document. When I review the DOM object, the first child has the value "<?xml version = '1.0'?>" and the second child has the <rowset> tag. I need a DOM object that does not have the <?xml version = '1.0'?> line in it. It should start with the <rowset> tag. How do I turn this off in OracleXMLQuery?

Answer 1

At the end, I decided to kill off the first child.
In Java,
OracleXMLQuery xq = new OracleXMLQuery(conn, "select * from emp");
xmlDocToReturn = xq.getXMLDOM();
Node lst = xmlDocToReturn.getFirstChild();
xmlDocToReturn.removeChild(lst);
