Why don't just use the XMLWriter as it is, there is a write(Element) method in it...
Like this: try { Document doc = DocumentHelper.createDocument(); doc.setRootElement(DocumentHelper.createElement("ROOT")); doc.getRootElement().add(DocumentHelper.createElement("InsideRootElement")); OutputFormat outPretty = OutputFormat.createPrettyPrint(); XMLWriter writePretty = new XMLWriter(System.out, outPretty); writePretty.write(doc.getRootElement()); } catch (Exception e) { e.printStackTrace(); } Or did I not understand what you wanted to do?
