[castor-user] XML: Mapping Elements Into a CDATA Section

[Read, David]

Hello all,
 
I am trying to send data into a web service whose operations simply take
a <Request> string.  Inside of this element is supposed to be the XML
payload to be processed.  For example it expects something like:
 
<operation>
  <Request>
    <![CDATA[
      <foo>
        <bar1>data1</bar1>
        <bar2>data2</bar2>
      </foo>
    ]]>
  </Request>
</operation>
 
The class instance to be marshalled contains fields for each <bar#>.
For example:
 
public class Foo {
   private String bar1, bar2, bar3;
   public String getBar1() { return bar1; } 
   public String getBar2() { return bar2; } 
   public String getBar3() { return bar3; }
}
 
I started with the mapping like:
 
<class name="Foo">
    <map-to xml="operation"  
        ns-uri="urn:RuleEngine:Data-Interface-WS-" 
        ns-prefix="tns"/>
    <field name="bar1" type="string" required="false">
      <bind-xml name="tns:bar1" node="element" location="Request/foo"/>
    </field>
    <field name="bar2" type="string" required="false">
      <bind-xml name="tns:bar2" node="element" location="Request/foo"/>
    </field>
    <field name="bar3" type="string" required="false">
      <bind-xml name="tns:bar3" node="element" location="Request/foo"/>
    </field>
  </class>

Obviously this doesn't know to place <foo> within a CDATA section in
<Request>.  However, I don't see how to do it.
 
Is there a way to setup the mapping so that the <foo> and <bar> elements
are really just part of the data for <Request>?
 
I appreciate any pointers you can provide for this.
 
Thank you,
 
-Dave
