Hi Arnaud,
Thanks for the suggestion.
I've been able to use AnyNode (and <xsd:any>) for variable xml blocks and it
works like a charm.
Unfortunately this doesn't work with CDATA.
When unmarshalling text with CDATA (into the <xsd:any> container class), the
actual text gets escaped and the CDATA tag gets lost. No differences with
<xsd:text> here (OK, I had to try unmarshal).
When populating a AnyNode element with AnyNode text (CDATA), the text gets
escaped during marshalling. Funny enough, in this case the CDATA tag remains
but the enclosing '<' and '>' are translated.
I'm using a (dirty) hack now: The element is of type text, I fill it with a
dummy and replace the dummy with the "real" data after marshalling.
I'm still very curious if I can get CDATA to work, but at least the pressure
is off for the moment.
Thanks for your suggestions (everybody!),
Michel

Actually there is no specific support for CDATA sections.
When it was supported by XML Schema, we used to map it to
a Java string.
For your problem, you might want to use an AnyNode and the xsd:any in your
XML Schema.
Hope this helps,
Arnaud
