If you have a SAXWriter you can write out individual elements via the write(Element) methods.
However be sure to ensure that you also invoke startDocument() and endDocument() on your underlying ContentHandler.

Basically, I parse a large XML file using ElementHandler interface to perform specific operation on the given element and then I would like to output that element to another file. So far I have created a SAXWriter which uses XMLWriter as its ContentHandler, but I am not sure how to initialise the output document tree. Currently I get a file without a root element and no <? xml ?> declaration. Any help is appreciated.
