RE: Images embedded in XML

[Darshan Singh <darshan@PerfectXML.com>]

IMHO, CDATA section is not a good way to hold binary data (because then
you'll never be able to represent three byte sequence '5D 5D 3E' (hexr for
']]>').

To save binary data as part of XML you'll have to use Base64 encoding. I
don't have Java code that illustrates that, but following article might be
useful just to get an idea:
XML and binary data

Why not use a CDATA section, as in:

    <![CDATA[image binary here]]>
