Hello,
I don't have a complete solution for you... but a hint how it should
work. I also just stumpled over the topic...
I read that the question of CDATA can / should / must be controlled by
the XML serializer.
Using Xerces you can create your own OutputFormat, set the element
names of those elements that should use CDATA into the OutputFormat,
create a XMLSerializer for the OutputFormat and use the
DocumentHandler of the XMLSerializer in the Marshaller...
A quick unit test showing how to:
package org.castor.xml;
import junit.framework.TestCase;
import org.apache.xml.serialize.OutputFormat;
import org.apache.xml.serialize.XMLSerializer;
import org.exolab.castor.xml.Marshaller;
import org.exolab.castor.xml.XMLContext;
/**
* To test how to serialize some element content as CDATA...
*
* @author Joachim Grueneis, jgrueneis_at_gmail_dot_com
*/
public class CdataTest extends TestCase {
public CdataTest(String testName) {
super(testName);
}
protected void setUp() throws Exception {
super.setUp();
}
protected void tearDown() throws Exception {
super.tearDown();
}
public void testCDataOutput() throws Exception {
Foo foo = new Foo("Working & <h1>Testing CDATA</h1>");
XMLContext xmlContext = new XMLContext();
xmlContext.addClass(Foo.class);
Marshaller m = xmlContext.createMarshaller();
XMLSerializer serializer = getXMLSerializer();
m.marshal(foo, serializer.asContentHandler());
}
private static XMLSerializer getXMLSerializer() {
OutputFormat of = new OutputFormat();
of.setCDataElements(new String[] { "^content" });
of.setPreserveSpace(true);
of.setIndenting(true);
XMLSerializer serializer = new XMLSerializer(of);
serializer.setOutputByteStream(System.out);
return serializer;
}
/**
* My domain class for testing
*/
public class Foo {
private String content;
public Foo(String content) {
this.content = content;
}
public String getContent() {
return content;
}
}
}
