Hi Udesh, In addition to familiarizing yourself with the XMLOutputFactory/XMLStreamWriter APIs it would probably be a good idea to have a look at the existing serializers in Xerces and Xalan to get a feel for the implementation of such a component.
Here's a good introductory article [1] on the XMLStreamWriter. Thanks.
