How to save the output into a file

In a program, I currently have

process.serialize(System.out);

This generally output the object "开发者_Python百科process" to the screen in a XML format.

But I want to redirect this XML format into a saved file, like test.XML. How to do that in java? Thanks.

System.out is a of PrintStream type so you should have a look here. Using PrintStream combined with a File like this:

process.serialize(new PrintStream(new File("my file")));

will do the work.

this specifically goes like

process.serialize(new PrintStream("test.xml"));

I agree with the previous answers by equality and ratchet freak, and I'd like to add a few points:

• You can learn more about different ways to work with streams and files from Sun/Oracle's tutorial on I/O.
• It's important to close every stream you use, by calling the stream's close() method. Placing those calls in a finally block will ensure that all the resources are released regardless of any encountered exceptions.
