Also what if the "illegal character" happens to be :-
height of jack is > 6 feet
you cannot wrap this in CDATA

Well, first about parsers, and option you want. Answer is very simple:
if parsers had that kind of option, witch disables "well formed"
property of document, than the document you are parsing is not any more
caled xml. That is since xml is very strict regarding format of the
document. This is not advanced theory, or philosophy of parser makers,
it is simply standard.=20
And something about your problem: If string as you say, comes from
external application, and that app declares that that given string is
xml document (or fragment), external application have serious bug. So if
you can pass the problem as bug to app's manufacturer.=20
And one tought for end: If you know that illegal chars ocures only in
specific elements of document you can try to wrap that string in
InputStream, and insert CDATA markers after start and just before end of
offending elements. This way you will avoid unnecessary string
manipulation step before parsing document, since insertion will occure
"while parsing".

Subject: RE: [jdom-interest] escape characters within a element text
hi,
Well the problem i have is that the xml string that i mentioned,
comes out from another application which i have no control. In reality
the xml is larger than what i sent, so to wrap up with CDATA on my side
i would have to perform a string manupulation on my side. What i am
wondering is whether JDOM or any other xml parser can be told to treat
all the text within elements as unparsed(CDATA) or to say to the
parser using XPAth perhaps, to treat a particular nodes(elements) text
as CDATA.
Wonder why JDOM/any other does not have that option, in the
SAXBuilder or some where.( dont know really the advanced theory behind
not having such a thing).=20
hope to hear from u on this issue.
regards and thanks=20

You can try to wrap it up inside CDATA sections, ex:
<person>
<name>jack</name>
<description><![CDATA[height of jack is < 6 feet]]></description>
</person>

Subject: [jdom-interest] escape characters within a element text
hi
if i have a string which is a xml, but contains invalid
characters within the elements text, how can i create a xml document out
of it.=20
If the string is as below
<person>
<name>jack </name>
<description> height of jack is < 6 feet </description>
</person>
here the description text contains the character '<', so if we
try to create a dom document using the SAXBuilder it gives an exception.
Is there a way in JDOM to say replace those characters with the required
escape characters?
before creating the dom document?
regards
niroshan
