remove xml declaration from the generated xml document using java

Question

String root = \"RdbTunnels\";
DocumentBuilderFactory documentBuilderFactory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();

Answer 1

Have you seen OutputKeys as used by Transformer? Specifically OMIT_XML_DECLARATION.

Note that removing the header is valid in XML 1.0, but you lose character encoding data (among other things) which can be very important.
