Hi ,
I have this code..

public class UseDom {
public static Document createRootElement() {
try {
//Creates document builder factory
DocumentBuilderFactory
factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
factory.setValidating(true);
//Tells the parser to be namespace aware
factory.setNamespaceAware(true);
DocumentBuilder
builder = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
Document doc = builder.newDocument();

//Creates element as root element
Element xmlfile = doc.createElement("xml");
//Sets the element as root
doc.appendChild(xmlfile);

} catch (IOException e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}
return doc;
}.....

when i am compiling..i get this error..abt my return statement..that it cannot resolve symbol dod..why is that??
