they all do, it is part of the standard Java XML API
see below, this way you don't have to import any outside libraries of the JDK
Filip
public static void writeXmlToFile(java.io.File f, Document d) {
Transformer transformer =
TransformerFactory.newInstance().newTransformer();
java.io.FileOutputStream out = new java.io.FileOutputStream(f);
StreamResult result = new StreamResult(out);
DOMSource source = new DOMSource(d);
transformer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.INDENT,"yes");
//depending on which library you have
transformer.setOutputProperty("{http://xml.apache.org/xalan%7dindent-amount","4";);
transformer.setOutputProperty("{http://xml.apache.org/xslt%7dindent-amount","4";);
transformer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.METHOD,"xml");
transformer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.OMIT_XML_DECLARATION,"yes");
transformer.transform(source, result);

That's possible to replicate in a JMX- or JBoss-style configuration file, but it tends
to look uglier and more verbose IMHO.
However, your desired a good long-term goal also, I think.

http://xml.apache.org/xerces2-j/javadocs/api/org/w3c/dom/ls/LSSerializer.html,
specified in
http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/REC-DOM-Level-3-LS-20040407/. But as you see these things
are fairly new, and as such might be buggy:
http://xml.apache.org/xerces2-j/dom3.html. There's also at least one unimplemented
method of the LSSerializer
(normalize-characters) but we might not need that one.

This is a big plus in favor of DOM 3. +1 for using it.
I see this stuff is available bundled on JDK 1.5 (like JMX and JMX
remote), so if we choose to use this, I think I'll advocate having the
default download for JDK 1.5, and a download for JDK 1.4 compatibility.
