How to create an XML Log file in Java using JAXB (Customized)

Using JAX-B, its amazing easy to convert java objects to xml and vice versa.
Java Object  --> XML (Marshalling)
XML --> Java Object (Unmarshalling)

We are going to create 3 DTO's and then, using JAX-B, will print the output to a log file.
The DTO's have following hierarchy:
TestSteps :--> TestCase :--> TestCases.

The Main Class:


/**
 *
 */
package main;

import logger.Logger;

/**
 * @author sundaram
 *
 */
public class Main {

/**
* @param args
*/
public static void main(String[] args) {

Logger logger = new Logger("SampleLog1");

logger.writeToLogTestCase(1.0, "Title 1");
logger.writeToLogTestStep(1.0, 1.1, "Verify that part 1", "PASS",
"Function FAM_ClientNotesPane has been executed successfully.",
"[Table:NotesPanes; 1] Action = Action,ExecuteVerify = ExecuteVerify");
          }
}


The Logger Class:

Will Upload it shortly.

Here are the 3 DTO's:

(1) Class Name: TestStep:
