A CDATA section is a purely syntactic construct and has no semantic meaning, i.e. in an XML document "<![CDATA[x <= y]]>" is expected to be completely equivalent to "x <= y". If an application makes a distinction between these two ways of serializing character data, then that application should be considered as broken. That is why XML databinding frameworks generally don't give you control over how character data is serialized, which in general means that they don't use CDATA sections at all. This applies to POJOs, ADB generated code and JAXB/JAX-WS (and probably to XmlBeans and JiBX as well). It's also not an Axis2 specific limitation, but applies to other SOAP stacks as well.
The only way to produce a CDATA section is to manipulate the message at the XML object model level (Axiom in this case), either by composing the message directly (i.e. without XML databinding) or by transforming the message after the databinding step.
