UnMarshalling illegal characters from XML

Hi

Which is the most efficient way of removing illegal characters from the
JAXB XML Output for a JAX-RS service?

I have data values that have 0x00 which does get marshalled,  however the
client falls over because of this. I want to prevent these values from
being written to the JAXB Output stream.

Regards
Kiren

Hi Sergey,James,

The application is quite old now, so CDATA is not an option since the
client may need to change.

I think writing a custom XMLStreamWriter may fit the purpose.

Thanks
Kiren

I've had to deal with this and the only way I could see was to extend the
jaxws/jaxb front-end and basically filter the output. Only works with two
of the four writers.

Hi Kiren
Can using CData blocks help ?
Another option is to use a Stax transformation feature and drop some 
simple elements that may have the illegal values:

http://cxf.apache.org/docs/transformationfeature.html#TransformationFeature-Droppingoutputandinputelements

Finally you can register a custom XMLStreamWriter and do a more 
fine-grained control...

HTH, Sergey
