Hi,

I'm trying to create an XML structure and then writing to a file and I have problems with CDATA sections.

I use the next function to create a node with a CDATA section:

private static Element creaElementCDATA(String node, String value){
        Element elementFillDades = document.createElement(node);
        if (value!=null){
           elementFillDades.appendChild(document.createCDATASection(value));
        }
        return elementFillDades;
    }

and this one to write the XML file:

public static void writeXmlFile(Document doc, String filename) {
    try {
        // Prepare the DOM document for writing
        Source source = new DOMSource(doc);

        // Prepare the output file
        File file = new File(filename);
        Result result = new StreamResult(file);

        // Write the DOM document to the file
        Transformer xformer = TransformerFactory.newInstance().newTransformer();
        xformer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.INDENT,"yes");
        xformer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.CDATA_SECTION_ELEMENTS,"descripcioAssignatura");
        xformer.transform(source, result);
    } catch (TransformerConfigurationException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();

    } catch (TransformerException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();

    }

The document seems to create the CDATA section, but when I check the created file, it adds a tag with no text value(<descripcioAssignatura/> instead of <descripcioAssignatura><<![.....a large description...]]></descripcioAssignatura>). I added the line in bold, but doesn't work.... any idea??
