I am working on bidirectional integration, how to use CDATA ?

[Gaurav Kumar15]

Hi All,

I am working on bi-directional integration.

And in SOAP message our Request XML looks like

<Payload>

<var1>${var1}</var1>

<var2>${var2}</var2>

<var3>${var3}</var3>

<var4>${var4}</var4>

<var5>${var5}</var5>

</Payload>

Client wants the complete payload in CDATA. So i am not sure whether i am or right path or not, for adding the complete payload in CDATA, i changed the request XML as

<Payload>

<![CDATA[                                                                                                       ---- added this line for starting CDATA

<var1>${var1}</var1>

<var2>${var2}</var2>

<var3>${var3}</var3>

<var4>${var4}</var4>

<var5>${var5}</var5>

]]>                                                                                                               ----- here i am closing CDATA

</Payload>

Is the above request xml fine for sending in CDATA or i am missing something. I just want to verify this,as i havn't worked with CDATA, and dont know much on the same.

So plase help me in understanding the usage of CDATA.

TIA,

Gaurav

CDATA is used to specify data that needs to be ignored by parser and needs to be treated as text or character data..
