All Implemented Interfaces:

org.exolab.castor.mapping.FieldHandler

public class CastorCDataFieldHandler
extends org.exolab.castor.mapping.AbstractFieldHandler

Castor data field handler which wraps a fields value with CDATA tags. CDATA tags have never been very well supported by castor (i.e. not at all!), but castor does provide support for specifying "handlers" on a per field basis in the mapping file. If defined, castor uses the handler to marshal objects to XML.

To use this handler, set the field up as follows in the mapping file:

<field name="value" type="string" required="false"

direct="false" transient="false" handler="com.ail.core.xmlbinding.CastorCDataFieldHandler">

<bind-xml node="text" reference="false"/>

</field>
