As Joe's previous message made clear, and I thought I had made clear,
trying to search an XML document using XPath won't work. CData sections
are not part of the model, and there's no XPath that you can write that
will find them.
I only mentioned using the Xerces DOM because it at least allows CDATA
sections to be represented. If you can't use Joe's previous suggestion,
you'll have to search the DOM yourself.

I mean that the chunk of data as displayed in the xml document is a CData
section.
"If you're using the Xerces DOM and our wrapper around that, you can
preserve CDATA sections"
How would I be able to do this?

Can you explain more what you mean when you say "the data is clearly
CDATA"? The XPath data model has no notion of CDATA sections, so any
characters inside a CDATA section will have been merged with any
surrounding characters into one text node when we build the tree.
If you're using the Xerces DOM and our wrapper around that, you can
preserve CDATA sections, but searching for them using XPath may not
work as
expected. This is just one of the differences between the DOM and
the
XPath data model, so I'm not sure what the "fix" would be.

Hi,
Whenever I use XalanNode->getNodeType() in the XPathWrapper example
it
returns a type XalanNode::TEXT_NODE rather than
XalanNode::CDATA_SECTION_NODE when the data is clearly CData. The
other
types work as they should and return the appropriate node types.
I am doing special processing for CData Sections in my application.
Is
there another way to distinguish in XalanNode whether the data is
CData or
not, or do I have to wait for a fix?
Thanks,
Siehnai
