Hi, One way would be to use a CXF JAX-RS implementation. I'm presuming no SOAP is involved as Todd is asking about CDATA in a context of the REST application, right ? If so, then with JAX-RS one can just return a String which uses CData to encapsulate XML..., with no JAXB involved. JAXB might be used to create the actual XML, but the String will be written directly to the output stream or read as is from the input stream...
