Others will correct me if I'm wrong but... I am feeling (semi)* public spirited today. I believe if you set JAXB_FRAGMENT to Boolean.TRUE then you can marshall only the object.
I have a similar problem. I want to marshall a number myObjects (indeterminate when I start processing) and I want to--
i. marshall them on a different thread - so as to isolate my processing from marshalling, and
ii. wrap the whole lot in an envelope at the end of processing. (Alternatively right the envelope out programmatically without haing to write something like--
out.println("<xml...");
m.marshall(MyObj, out)
out.println("</xml...");
... cos I might have a few different myObj's to marshall and doing this each time looks very cumbersome.
As you say there seems to be no way to do this elegantly. XMLBeans seems to do this but I really would rather not have to go through the torture of learning (yet another) API (admittedly it doesn't look that steep now that I know a little about JAXB). If anyone has a solution that doesn't involve the above then I'd be very interested to hear it.
