Here's what I used to recreate this: JDK 1.4.2 WinXP Pro
Tomcat 5.0.28 Xerces 2.6.2 & Xalan 2.6.0 installed in $CATALINA_HOME/common/endorsed WEB-INF/lib XTags nightly (20050315) dom4j 1.5.2 xtags.jsp: ---------- <%@ page contentType="text/xml" %> <%@ taglib prefix="xtags" uri="http://jakarta.apache.org/taglibs/xtags-1.0"; %> <xtags:parse id="lxml"> <my> <loc url="http://localhost:8084/checklist/update.jsp";>My location</loc> </my> </xtags:parse> <xtags:parse id="streamxml"> <job> </job> </xtags:parse> <xtags:context select="$streamxml/job"> <xtags:add> <var name="url"><![CDATA[<xtags:valueOf select="$lxml/my/loc/@url"/>]]></var> </xtags:add> </xtags:context> <xtags:copyOf select="$streamxml"/> Which produced: <job> <var name="url"><![CDATA[http://localhost:8084/checklist/update.jsp]]></var> </job> Is that what you wanted? Quoting Malcolm Cowe <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Hi, > > I'm trying to assemble an XML document that contains a URL as CDATA in > one of the tags.
