The serialiser is the last thing in the chain, and it’s the serialiser which controls things like omit-output-declaration. Say you have two XMLFilters, one says omit-xml-declaration="yes" and one says "no", which should the serialiser listen to? So the only way to control the serialiser is through setOutputProperty(), its not a bug, just something to be aware of. cheers andrew --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
