Set the suppress declaration to true to turn off the xml instruction header.
It should look something like this..
Document document = ...
org.dom4j.io.OutputFormat of = org.dom4j.io.OutputFormat.createCompactFormat();
of.setIndent(true);
of.setNewlines(true);
of.setExpandEmptyElements(false);
of.setOmitEncoding(false);
of.setSuppressDeclaration(true);
of.setEncoding("UTF-8");
of.setTrimText(true);
java.io.ByteArrayOutputStream os = new java.io.ByteArrayOutputStream();
java.io.BufferedOutputStream bos= new java.io.BufferedOutputStream(os);
org.dom4j.io.XMLWriter xmlWriter = new org.dom4j.io.XMLWriter(of);
xmlWriter.setOutputStream(bos);
xmlWriter.write(document);
xmlWriter.close();
String xml = os.toString();
System.out.println("xml=\n"+xml);
Enjoy!

How do you write a DOM object to a file without it including the xml "header" information?
In other words, I don't want the following line included at the top of the file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
