Title: How i can keep the CDATA elements

XMLBeans does not preserve CDATA sections.

This has been addressed most recently on this mailing list by the following posts:

Subject: How to preserve CDATA sections? 

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!

Hi David,

This is an issue that was requested before, and we didn’t have a good answer for it for quite a while.

Since the CDATA is not part of the xml info set, the regular text and CDATA are both stored as text in the xml in-memory store, so saving will not preserve the CDATA blocks.

But, I checked in yesterday two new options that will allow one to control when CDATA is used when saving to text: XmlOptions setSaveCDataLengthThreshold() and setSaveCDataEntityCountThreshold(). 

So, get the latest sources from SVN and give it a try.

Hi,

I have some problems with CDATA elements.

When I parse a document with some CDATA, xmlbeans transform the characters to remove CDATA.

In the same manner I don’t know if there is a way to generate CDATA elements.

Thanks for your help.

Olivier.
