You can use the following classes:
org.apache.xml.serialize.XMLSerializer;
org.apache.xml.serialize.DOMSerializer;
Here is an extract of some code I use to perform this task:
OutputFormat outputFormat = new OutputFormat();
outputFormat.setMethod(Method.XML);
outputFormat.setIndenting(true);
outputFormat.setIndent(4);
ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
XMLSerializer xmlSerializer = new XMLSerializer(
baos, outputFormat);
DOMSerializer domSerializer = xmlSerializer.asDOMSerializer();
domSerializer.serialize(doc);
byte[] data = baos.toByteArray();
You can then write the byte array to a file.
I specifically wanted a byte array for other reasons; because you only
want to write to a file, you might be able to pass a FileOutputStream to
the XMLSerializer or similar.
