XML generator

 To generate an XML output in the specified format using Spring Boot and Java, you can make use of the Java XML APIs, such as the `javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilder` and `org.w3c.dom.Document` classes. Here's an example of how you can achieve this:


```java

import org.w3c.dom.Document;

import org.w3c.dom.Element;

import javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory;

import javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilder;

import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;

import java.util.Date;


public class XmlGenerator {


    public static void main(String[] args) {

        // Create a new XML document

        Document document = createXmlDocument();


        // Generate the root element <Head>

        Element headElement = document.createElement("Head");

        headElement.setAttribute("ver", "1.0");

        headElement.setAttribute("ts", getCurrentTimestamp());

        headElement.setAttribute("orgId", "ABL");

        headElement.setAttribute("msgId", "1");


        // Append the <Head> element to the document

        document.appendChild(headElement);


        // Convert the document to an XML string

        String xmlString = convertDocumentToString(document);

        System.out.println(xmlString);

    }


    private static Document createXmlDocument() {

        try {

            DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();

            DocumentBuilder builder = factory.newDocumentBuilder();

            return builder.newDocument();

        } catch (Exception e) {

            e.printStackTrace();

        }

        return null;

    }


    private static String getCurrentTimestamp() {

        SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss a");

        return dateFormat.format(new Date());

    }


    private static String convertDocumentToString(Document document) {

        try {

            // Create a transformer to convert the document to string

            TransformerFactory transformerFactory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();

            Transformer transformer = transformerFactory.newTransformer();


            // Set properties to format the XML output

            transformer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.INDENT, "yes");

            transformer.setOutputProperty("{http://xml.apache.org/xslt}indent-amount", "2");


            // Create a string writer to capture the XML output

            StringWriter stringWriter = new StringWriter();

            StreamResult streamResult = new StreamResult(stringWriter);


            // Transform the document to string

            transformer.transform(new DOMSource(document), streamResult);


            // Return the XML string

            return stringWriter.toString();

        } catch (Exception e) {

            e.printStackTrace();

        }

        return null;

    }

}

```


In this example, the `createXmlDocument()` method creates a new XML document using the `DocumentBuilder` and `DocumentBuilderFactory` classes. The `getCurrentTimestamp()` method retrieves the current timestamp in the desired format. The `convertDocumentToString()` method converts the generated document to a string representation using the `Transformer` class.


When you run the `main` method, it will generate the XML output in the specified format:


```xml

<Head ver="1.0" ts="07/04/2023 10:26:51 PM" orgId="ABL" msgId="1"/>

```


Please note that you need to import the necessary classes (`Document`, `Element`, `DocumentBuilderFactory`, `DocumentBuilder`, `SimpleDateFormat`, etc.) and handle any exceptions that may occur during XML generation.
