I guess you would get and set CDATA just like any other text, i.e. using
Strings. I'm not aware of any way to force a CDATA section on marshalling
though.
Since you are using mixed content, the List returned by getContent can
contain any combination of Strings (for raw text) and javax.xml.bind.Element
instances (for child elements). For your example I would expect that the
list would contain a single String corresponding to the CDATA section.
The setContent() method is not necessary because you can call getContent()
and modify the list that it returns. For example:
myScript.getContent().clear();
myScript.getContent().addAll(myList);
would be equivalent to myScript.setContent(myList).
