CDATA SAX events don't work when using transformation chaining!

[ro...@kbc.be]

I am using a transformation chain that generates SAX events to a
ContentHandler.

The XSLT script outputs an XML structure within a CDATA element as follows:
<Data>
     <xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">&lt;!--
     </xsl:text>
     <xsl:copy-of select="."/>
     <xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">--&gt;
     </xsl:text>
</Data>

The problem is that Xalan ignores the <![CDATA[ element and just raises a
'characters(ch[],int,int)' event for it and afterwards raises events for
each element in the XML that the CDATA element contains.

This means that <![CDATA[ ]]> is useless, since the data within it is just
parsed like the rest of the document. It works fine when I'm just using
Xerces to parse an XML containing CDATA elements. The data within the CDATA
element is nicely ignored and raised as 'characters(ch[],int,int)' event.


Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong???



Thanks,
Robbie
