public class DomCDATA
extends DomText
implements CDATASection

"CDATASection" implementation. This is a non-core DOM class, supporting the "XML" feature. CDATA sections are just ways to represent text using different delimeters.

You are strongly advised not to use CDATASection nodes. The advantage of having slightly prettier ways to print text that may have lots of embedded XML delimiters, such as "&" and "<", can be dwarfed by the cost of dealing with multiple kinds of text nodes in all your algorithms.

Constructor Detail

DomCDATA

protected DomCDATA(Document owner,
                   String value)
Constructs a CDATA section node associated with the specified document and holding the specified data.

This constructor should only be invoked by a Document as part of its createCDATASection functionality, or through a subclass which is similarly used in a "Sub-DOM" style layer.

protected DomCDATA(Document owner,
                   char[] buf,
                   int off,
                   int len)
