hi,

IMHO, this is one of the worst practice

outStream.print( "<" );
outStream.print( type );
outStream.print( ">" );
outStream.print( "if (a<b ) {}" );

you'll have too many occasions to break your XML result ; rely on tools 
made for that purpose that will produce well-formed XML

you can also use templates for creating SAX documents with RefleX :
http://reflex.gforge.inria.fr/tips.html#createFromScratch
of course, you can loop on whatever you want to create content (merge 
thousand XML files for example: 
                                reflex.gforge.inria.fr/tips.html#parsingFragments">http://reflex.gforge.inria.fr/tips.html#parsingFragments )

then pipe the created doc to an XSLT serializer :
                                reflex.gforge.inria.fr/tips.html#xsltSerialization">http://reflex.gforge.inria.fr/tips.html#xsltSerialization

you can use it from the command line, embed it in a program, or deploy 
it within a web server

I will talk about all that stuff at Balisage 2008 in Montreal, with a 
focus on schema languages
