First off, can you use code tags please?
Next you'll need to give us some more information, like what problem do you have? What are you seeing? What should you be seeing? Any errors etc?
And finally, that mass of code is frankly an abuse of a JSP. You should probably be building your XML in a servlet then forwarding that to your JSP page. That, at least, woudl be easier to debug than this mess.

You really haven't answered my key questions.
What do you see?
What should you see?
And code tags look like [ code ] [ /code ] without the spaces.
And it's still an abuse of JSPs.
Whoever is teaching you this should have started with servlets then moved onto JSPs, so you don't end up sticking gtreat slabs of code into a JSP page.

Could you format your code please?
How many times do I have to mention this?
Anyway:
You're appending the document each time to the file, which is why you're getting the xml header info.Java Code:FileWriter fw=new FileWriter(file,true);
Not sure why the entires are going in separately, but I can't follow your code at the moment.

Yes.
It's doing that because you are appending!
It's just a text file.
It doesn't know it isn't supposed to stick the xml header on there.
You've just told the FileWriter to append the contents of the Doc to the file. Which is what it's doing. The contents of the Doc include the xml header!
