XML inside another XML

[Jose Luis Huertas Fernández <jo...@gmail.com>]

Hi everybody,

thanks for this wonderful framewok... it is saving me tons of time!

What I need to do now is send an XML to another system (the XML is defined
by a XSD), but the content of one of the elements is an XML too. I was
trying to use a CDATA section because the "inner" XML does't have to be
interpreted but I don't know how to do it with JaxMe...

So, summarizing, what I need is that a String in a JaxMe bean will be
surrounded by a CDATA section when the bean is marshalled into XML... is it
possible?

Thanks in advance.

José Luis.

First of all, you do not necessarily need a CDATA section, don't you?
The XML parser will return the "inner" XML document as a string
anyways.

Second, if you *must* have a CDATA section, then I'd recommend the
following approach: First of all, create your "inner" document and
marshal it to a string, as you would do anyways. Second, create your
"outer" document and put the "inner" document in the corresponding
property. Third, do not marshal the "outer" document directly. Instead
create an instance of TransformerHandler. The TransformerHandler has
an associated Transformer. On that Transformer, set the property
