Kohsuke,
Thank you for clearly outlining a solution.
At the risk of sounding ungrateful... isn't there a JAXP-only solution to
this? We have cleaned up our code base away from Xerces with JAXP, and
eventhough we do deliver Xerces with our server we would like to keep a
clean JAXP based solution if possible to allow us not to deliver Xerces
when/if we switch from moving our platform requirement from JRE 1.3.x to
1.4.x. Ideally, we would like customers/consultants to be able to plug-in
their JAXP compliant parsers/transformers.
Thank you,
Gary

Whenever you'd like to modify the marshalling result, do as follows:
1. Look for XML writer implementation that fits your needs. Major ones
are:
a. Apache XMLSerializer
b. David Megginson's XMLWriter (
http://www.megginson.com/Software/)
c. XmlWriter in GNU JAXP
but there are a plenty of others. Just try to google the web. Choose
one that can write SAX events.
2. Let's say we use Apache XMLWriter. Their documentation shows how to
configure it to strip the xml declaration. In their case, it would
be:
OutputFormat of = new OutputFormat();
of.setOmitXMLDeclaration(true);
XMLSerializer xs = new XMLSerializer(new FileOutputStream("abc.xml"), of
);
3. Then pass this serializer object as a parameter to the marshaller.
marshaller.marshal( jaxbObject, xs );
You can apply this technique to various other things.
regards,
