Generating documents consumable by a DTD validating Parser

[Radhakrishnan J <ra...@tavant.com>]

Hi,

We have a usecase where the XML document generated by XmlBeans needs to be
validated against a DTD. Also, there are cases where CDATA sections need to
be used.  This doesn't seem to be straightforward.

GenericStringDocument genericStringDoc =
GenericStringDocument.Factory.newInstance();
genericStringDoc.setGenericString(
 "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?>" +
 "<some-content some-attribute=\"some-attribute-value\">" +
 "<![CDATA[some-content-value is: Tom &Jerry is my favorite cartoon show
]]>" +
 "</some-content>");

Generates the xml text:

<xb:GenericString xmlns:xb="http://tavant/test/xmlbeans">
&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
 &lt;some-content some-attribute="some-attribute-value">
  &lt;![CDATA[some-content-value is: Tom &amp;Jerry is my favorite cartoon
show ]]>
 &lt;/some-content>
</xb:GenericString>

I have to replace the '&lt;![CDATA' string with '<![CDATA'. Also, special
characters within the CDATA section get replaced with their references, and
do not get dereferenced when seen by a SAX parser. Any suggestions on how
this could be handled neatly ?

Thanks,
