Greg,
If you are using xerces to serialize the DOM, you can use the OutputFormat
class to add the DOCTYPE declaration,
ie:
OutputFormat format = new OutputFormat(document); // Document
document
format.setDoctype(publicId, systemId); //
String publicId,systemId
(Sets the document type public and system identifiers); // system
identifier would be the DTD
Then use the format when constructing a serializer,
XMLSerializer serial = new XMLSerializer(output, format); //
FileOutputStream output
