Q:

How to remove encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no" from xml Document object in Java

I want to create XML in Java. 
     DocumentBuilderFactory dbfac = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
     DocumentBuilder docBuilder;
     docBuilder = dbfac.newDocumentBuilder();
     Document doc = docBuilder.newDocument();

but Java automatically creates declaration like this
<? xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"? >

How can I remove  encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no" so it will be
<? xml version="1.0"? >

Thanks! 

A:

Why do you need to remove an encoding?  But..
doc.setXmlStandalone(true);

will erase standalone="no"

A:

transformer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys. OMIT_XML_DECLARATION, "yes");

This would resolve your issue, verified at JDK 6

A:

I think there is no legal way to exclude theese attributes from generation. 
But after it's generated you can use XSLT to remove this. 
I think this is a good way.
