I'm curious about why you need to output CDATA.
My understanding is that a CDATA section is always equivalent to a normal
text section with certain characters escaped. So, for example, this:
<response>
<data>
<![CDATA[
some strange text < < <
]]>
</data>
</response>
is exactly equivalent to this:
<response>
<data>
some strange text < < <
</data>
</response>
I guess the thinking in JAXB is that there is no need to use CDATA; you just
output literal text (without CDATA sections and without escapes), and JAXB
will take care of inserting the necessary escapes. In other words, if you
just use data.setValue("some strange text < < <") (or
data.getContent().add("some strange text < < <"), depending on the content
model), JAXB will marshal the content as in the second example above.
