JAXB pretty much never writes out CDATA sections. The only way to really do it is to write an interceptor that will take the XMLStreamWriter and wrapper it with a new XMLStreamWriter that would do some processing in the writeCharacters calls. It could delegate down into writeCDATA instead of writeCharacters or similar. -- Daniel Kulp [email protected] http://dankulp.com/blog
