I create the dom document using
javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilder.parse(File f)
where f is a new file(f = new File())
I use the document like
doc.createAttribute(..
...
But how I save it ?

I guess that you have to use the transformer factory to write it to disk
Here is the code snipet

/* import Statements */
import javax.xml.transform.*;
import javax.xml.transform.dom.DOMSource;
import javax.xml.transform.stream.StreamResult;
/* 
     Here is the core part   :)  
*/
  TransformerFactory tranFactory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
  Transformer aTransformer = tranFactory.newTransformer();
  Source src = new DOMSource(doc);
  Result dest = new StreamResult(new File(xmlFileName));
  aTransformer.transform(src, dest);

do go through the related API's
hope this helps
