I'm not aware of any XML data binding framework that would allow you to control whether something is serialized as a text node or a CDATA section. This is by design, because the difference between a text node and a CDATA section is only syntactic, but has no semantic meaning. This implies that any system that processes a CDATA section differently from an equivalent text node should be considered as broken. At least that is the what most people in the industry believe.
