How to preserve CDATA sections?

[Lewis, David]

Using XMLBeans 2.2.0, if I parse an XML document that contains CDATA sections to escape blocks of text, when I save the document to a file system – the CDATA sections are no longer preserved and literals that may be interpreted as markup (such as an ampersand) are written out in their escaped form.   For example, it the source document contains: <element><![CDATA[fred&ethyl]]></element> … it is saved as: <element>fred&amp;ethyl</element>   Any ideas how to preserve the CDATA sections?   Thanks!   ~ David   David Lewis Software Developer – National Forest Information System/ Concepteur de logiciels – Système national d’information forestière   Natural Resources Canada                     Ressources naturelles Canada              Canadian Forest Service.                       Service canadien des forêts 506 West Burnside Road                  506, chemin ouest Burnside Victoria, B.C.
