RE: How to preserve CDATA sections?

Hi David,

This is an issue that was requested before, and we didn’t have a good answer for it for quite a while.

Since the CDATA is not part of the xml info set, the regular text and CDATA are both stored as text in the xml in-memory store, so saving will not preserve the CDATA blocks.

But, I checked in yesterday two new options that will allow one to control when CDATA is used when saving to text: XmlOptions setSaveCDataLengthThreshold() and setSaveCDataEntityCountThreshold().

So, get the latest sources from SVN and give it a try.

As nobody has (yet) responded to my XMLBeans problem, I thought that I would repost it to both the “user” and “dev” mailing lists …

Using XMLBeans 2.2.0, if I parse an XML document that contains CDATA sections to escape blocks of text, when I save the document to a file system – the CDATA sections are no longer preserved and literals that may be interpreted as markup (such as an ampersand) are written out in their escaped form.

For example, it the source document contains:

… it is saved as:

<element>fred&ethyl</element>

Any ideas how to preserve the CDATA sections?

Thanks!
