Re: Store and retrieve an xml sequence without losing the markup

[Upayavira]

How about you 'xml encode' your content, instead of using CDATA:

<field name="subdoc">
  &lt;subdoc id="id_1"&gt;
    &lt;data>testing&lt;/data&gt;
  &lt;/subdoc&gt;
</field>

I don't entirely get what's going on for you. I just did a test, posting
this:

<add>
<doc>
  <field name="id">UV1</field>
  <field name="xml1_s">  <![CDATA[
  <subdoc id="id_1">
    <data>testing</data>
  </subdoc>
  ]]>
  </field>
  <field name="xml2_s">
  &lt;subdoc id="id_1"&gt;
    &lt;data>testing&lt;/data&gt;
  &lt;/subdoc&gt;
  </field>
</doc>
</add>

And querying for id:UV1 gave me the output:

<str name="xml1_s">  
  &lt;subdoc id="id_1"&gt;
    &lt;data&gt;testing&lt;/data&gt;
  &lt;/subdoc&gt;
  
  </str><str name="xml2_s">
  &lt;subdoc id="id_1"&gt;
    &lt;data&gt;testing&lt;/data&gt;
  &lt;/subdoc&gt;
  </str>

So both forms have worked for me.
