Xml Dom Document to Formatted String

This is probably really easy but I can't see how to do it. I have a org.w3c.dom.Document and I want to output it's contents to a JTextArea,
for example:
<employee id="111">
<name>bob</name>
<age>34</age>
</employee>

Iterating through all the nodes and attributes would appear to be more work than I thought necessary.

Can any one point me in the right direction.

You have to read all tags and values and print them out

Not what I wanted to hear, but thanks all the same ComputerJy.

I came acroos this it does the trick.

Code:

---

public String toString() {
                String output = "";
                Transformer transformer;
                try {
                        transformer = TransformerFactory.newInstance().newTransformer();
                        StringWriter sw = new StringWriter();
                        StreamResult result = new StreamResult(sw);
                        if (transformer != null) {
                        transformer.transform(new DOMSource(doc.getDocumentElement()),result);
                        output = sw.toString();
                        System.err.println("output: " + output);
                        }else{
                        System.err.println("No Transformer");
                        }
                } catch (TransformerConfigurationException e) {
                        e.printStackTrace();
                } catch (TransformerFactoryConfigurationError e) {
                        e.printStackTrace();
                } catch (TransformerException e) {
                        e.printStackTrace();
                }
                return output;
    }

Also, in Java5 you should look into org.w3c.dom.ls, that's where DOM Level 3 Load & Save resides.

Thanks for the tip CornedBee
