[jdom-interest] Adding content to CDATA

[New, Cecil (GEAE)]

The other choice is to "link" to it.  This is the approach taken by HTML
"containing" binary images.
 
XML is Unicode (8-bit ascii is handled internally as 16-bit unicode) and
nothing else.  Binary data can look like absolutely anything, including XML
tags.  So for many good reasons, XML cannot contain binary data.

Hi there:

Is there a way to get the content in Binary only without the Base64 encoder.

Thanks, Joseph

Use a Base64 encoder.  This makes the binary data ascii text (also increases
the size of the data).

Hi there:



I am new using JDOM to create my XML file,  but I have a question regarding
how to add binary content into CDATA.  I have a java method to read in a
file (e.g. PDF),  and the method returns the content of the file in
ByteArrayOutputStream data type.  I want to pass the content into the CDATA
section as is, and so far I found JDOM's CDATA requires a String data type.
Can anyone provide me with some hints on how to set the CDATA content with
Binary input???



Thanks for your assistance.



Best, Joseph Yin
