In general, you really can't expect to retain CDATA unless you build a
DOM tree, and maybe not then. It's a fundamental principle of XML that
CDATA isn't part of 'the infoset' -- the data that is represented by
the file. A parser is under no obligation to faithfully report this
stuff, so long as the right text ends up in the right place.
However, forget xpp3 and all that ancient lumber. Use Woodstox, or the
Xerces DOM, and you can probably find enough options to ask it to do
what you need.
yeah, that's basically what I was afraid I'd be left with...in other
words, no quick and easy solution, but basically a reinvention of the
model reader with a lot of extras.

Hi all,
I'm working on some tooling for $dayjob that needs to manipulate POM files
according to certain rules.
The problem I'm running into is that some of the POMs it much manipulate
contain CDATA sections, comments, etc. Also, since the modified POM often
will be used as the basis for a patch file, I'd like to preserve as much of
the ordering and existing whitespace in the file as possible, to minimize
the patchfile size.
I'm currently using the JDom-driven, Modello-generated writer, coupled with
the stock XPP3-driven reader (not the best, I know). It's losing the CDATA
(big problem) and injecting ^M (wrong line ending, little problem)...
Does anyone have experience with this? Anyone maybe have an advanced POM
reader/writer stashed somewhere that can preserve CDATA and the like?
Thanks,
-john
