Re: [castor-user] Hinting XML Marshaller to use ![CDATA] ?

[Michael Thome]

Thanks - this is a good start... Followup question for Those Who Know... The first solution is less desirable - I need something namespace-aware, and I'd prefer to keep things in code - the serialization I'm concerned about is actually happening in the guts of AXIS...  Yah, I could probably further hack the wsdd, but... I like the idea of the second one, but I fear that I am missing something - I guess I don't understand where the quoting is happening given this fragment - the default (XMLFieldHandler) just passes back the raw (unescaped) string.  If I use the below handler, I'm just passing back the raw string surrounded by CDATA escaping - shouldn't whatever was escaping it in the first place just escape the CDATA-augmented string (e.g. result in "&lt;![CDATA[x&lt;y]]&gt;" rather than "<![CDATA[x<y]]>" . Thanks again,     mik Jez Nicholson wrote: Hi Mik,   I've wrestled with this one for an age. I refer you to an answer I got on the list yesterday to my email "easiest way to include arbitrary xml"....   OutputFormat format = new OutputFormat(Method.XML, "UTF-8", true); String[] cdata = {"html-tag","contents","question","text","feedback"}; format.setCDataElements(cdata); format.setNonEscapingElements(cdata); XMLSerializer serializer = new XMLSerializer(new StringWriter(),format); ... An alternative could be to create a simple FieldHandler public class CDataFieldHandler extends AbstractFieldHandler {  /**   * uses reflection to retrieve the value then wraps   * it in a CDATA section   */  public Object getValue(Object object) throws IllegalStateException  {   FieldDescriptor f = getFieldDescriptor();   String fieldName = f.getFieldName();   Object value = PropertyUtils.getProperty(object,fieldName);   if (value==null)   {    value = "";   }   return "<![CDATA[" + value.toString() + "]]>";  } } Keith and co. please jump in if I am misguided.
