DOM - Creating Documents

[Jeff Greif]

Snarfed from the very useful guide.html that came with the IBM xml4j
(version 1.1.9) distribution
(the documentation has changed in later versions, and I haven't looked for
the replacement.):

<Quotation>
Creating a new XML document is a three step process. First, create the
TXDocument, which is the concrete implementation of Document. Second, create
the various XML objects using the TXDocument's create* methods. Finally, use
appendChild to append these appropriately to the TXDocument or sub-Elements.
Make a TXDocument instance.

TXDocument doc = new TXDocument();


 Create something, a DTD or root Element.
        Element root = doc.createElement("ROOT"));

Append  the newly created Element.
        doc.appendChild(root);

Append something to the root Element you have added.

      root.appendChild(doc.createElement("FOO"));
</Quotation>
