Actually, escaping it wouldn't do any good because the string ">" would be passed out, which is probably not intended. In short, CDATA sections shouldn't be used if you need to include the string "]]>" in your XML document.
But Jeff Greif has the keen eye on this one. He correctly noticed that the start delimiter of the CDATA section is wrong.
However, Radhakrishnan J should take special care if he is going to use CDATA sections to embed documents inside of the main XML document. If the embedded document contains a CDATA section (or even just the text "]]>"), then it will produce a document that is not well-formed.
