Writing xml file, midp, kxml - any ideas?

Question

Hello,
Does any have sample code of writing an XML file with kXML or a similar tool?
I'm getting confused with OutputWriter being abstract/DataOutputWriters not working.
My code as follows is fairly non-existent..
OutputStream out = "test.xml"; // this errors with incompatible type (obviously) but what needs to go here?
XmlWriter fxml = new XmlWriter(out);
thanks in advance

OutputStream out = "test.xml"this cant work. the latter is a string and the former an OutputStream.
yeah, thats pretty strange with the input and output of kXML. What you have to do is:
1) write a class, that extends the java.io.OutputStream. To do this, you have to implement all abstract methods of this (afaik write(byte))
2) this class can you pass to the XmlWriter. The most simple way of writing the bytes is to append it to a string, which you reference afterwards.
public class MyOutputStream extends OutputStream
public String output = "";
public void write(int b)
  output += (char)b;
}then write the stuff out and get the output of your OutputStream class. For writing this to a file (whichis not possible with J2ME, you have to some file handling in your OutputStream, like opening, appending and closing)
Note: this works only, if the content consists of characters. If you want to write binary data, this will get corrupt, since the cast to char transforms this binaries to characters. The reverse is (afaik) not possible.
