[Jelly] XML Declaration

[Christopher W. Farnham]

Is there an elegant way to make sure the XML declaration is included 
when writing to XMOutput?

I have a factory method a la the core FileTag where I was calling 
|outputFormat.setSuppressDeclaration(false);

|This didn't work (there was no declaration at the top of my XML 
files).  Finally I ended up hacking
my factory method to do this:
|        OutputFormat format = new OutputFormat();
       //we can use this line if we want results pretty printed
       //format = OutputFormat.createPrettyPrint();
       if (xmlDeclaration) {
           writer.write("<?xml version=\"1.0\" 
encoding=\"UTF-8\"?>".toCharArray());
       }
       format.setEncoding( "UTF8" );
       format.setSuppressDeclaration(true);
       final XMLWriter xmlWriter = new XMLWriter(writer, format);
       xmlWriter.setEscapeText(false);

       XMLOutput returnOutput = new XMLOutput() {
           public void close() throws IOException {
               xmlWriter.close();
           }
       };
       returnOutput.setContentHandler(xmlWriter);
       returnOutput.setLexicalHandler(xmlWriter);
       return returnOutput;
|This, of course, is not the best way to do things, but it works.  Did I 
miss something?
