Hi All,

I'm writing a class that generates an XML file using the W3C DOM with
data retrieved from a JDBC connection. I've successfully gotten the
XML generated. But, the exercise requires us to link the resulting
XML file to CSS and schema file. But, I don't know how to link them.
Basically, I need the following to show up in my XML file:

<?xml-stylesheet type="text/css" href="my.css" ?>
<my:jdbcexer xmlnssd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns:my="http://web3.myworld.edu/sports"
xsd:schemaLocation="http://web3.myworld.edu/sports sports.xsd">

How would this be done in Java?

The fragment enclosed in <? ?> is called a processing instruction. I'm
not intimately familiar with the org.w3c.dom package, but there may be
a way to add PI nodes to the document tree - the package has a
ProcessingInstruction class which might be suitable.

Thanks for your input. I used the CreateProcessingInstruction(...)
method to append this info to the document. Thanks.
