I have played with the new CDATA feature in the upcoming XMLBeans 2.4,
and this is how you control CDATA in a new document that you are
building:
node.setKey("ABCDE12345");
XmlCursor c = node.xgetKey().newCursor();
c.toFirstContentToken();
c.setBookmark(CDataBookmark.CDATA_BOOKMARK);
Hope this helps,
Radu
