                      String systemId)
               throws DOMException

Constructs the document writer. The constructor creates a basic document with a root element based on the specified document type parameters. The document is empty after construction. It is actually filled with a call to generateDocument(), which is in turn called when the document is first accessed through getDocument().

Parameters:

qualifiedName - the qualified name of the document's root element

publicId - the PUBLIC id of the document type

systemId - the SYSTEm id of the document type

Throws:

DOMException

Constructs the document by reading it from a source. You can pass a resolve class to this constructor, allowing you to indicate the package in which the dtd of the document read is to be found. The dtd sould be in the resources package under the package of the class passed.

Parameters:

source - the input source from which to read the document

validating - whether to validate the document

resolveBase - the base class whose package is used to resolve dtds, set to null if unknown
