Re: [configuration] Adding CData to xml property

[jeevi tesh]

Hi martin,
Thanks for the helping hand.

I tried with the approach which you said but no fruit.
StringBuffer cDataTagStart= new StringBuffer();
cDataTagStart.append("3C![CDATA[");
cDataTagStart.append("]]3E");

xmlContentOfMetaData.addProperty("Resource.ResourceURL", cDataTagStart);

Still Its adding Special charters
<ResourceURL>003C![CDATA[]]003E</ResourceURL>

Also tried with below approach
cDataTagStart.append("&lt;![CDATA[");
cDataTagStart.append("]]&gt;");

cDataTagStart.append("003C![CDATA[");
cDataTagStart.append("]]003E");

cDataTagStart.append("\u003C![CDATA[");
cDataTagStart.append("]]\u003E");

None of the above resulted in adding <![[CData> Tag

Thanks
