Short of writing your serializer, possibly by subclassing JDOM's, no 
you can't; nor should  you have to. I suspect the problem is not what 
you think it is. If it is what you think it is, then the receiving 
end of your communication is broken and needs to be fixed. The order 
of attributes and namespace declarations is simply not significant in 
XML.
