CDATA processing problem using Xerces-J validating parser

[Tony Opatha <tonyopatha@yahoo.com>]

I have a XML doc instance that contains CDATA section:

"<![CDATA[" and ends with "]]>"

 

Parsers validating this XML are supposed to ignore the

CDATA. XML Spy validates the XML instance fine using

its corresponding XSD which defines the CDATA as

a xsd:string.

 

Now when I use in run-time Xeres-J parser it seems to

be processing the CDATA and obviously fails to

validate the CDATA section since it has all types of

illegal characters in it:

 

Here is the error I get:

 

org.xml.sax.SAXException: Data not belonging to any element encountered: 32.com Record

 

Any ideas why this is a problem.

 

I believe this may be a Xerces 1.4 parser. Does xerces support

correct handling of CDATA???

thanks
