Answer 1

You can use a DocumentBuilder for creating this xml.

Please see some sample code below:

 DocumentBuilderFactory dbFactory =
 DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
 DocumentBuilder dBuilder = 
    dbFactory.newDocumentBuilder();
 Document doc = dBuilder.newDocument();
 // root element
 Element rootElement = doc.createElement("");

Then output the result in XML file as as shown below :

// write the content into xml file
 TransformerFactory transformerFactory =
 TransformerFactory.newInstance();
 Transformer transformer =
 transformerFactory.newTransformer();
 DOMSource source = new DOMSource(doc);
 StreamResult result =
 new StreamResult(new File("C:\\test.xml"));
 transformer.transform(source, result);
