Getting special Character while xml transformation

[Abrahim Daver]

Hello,

I have a question about passing special character < , > and / while transforming XML using XSL. Can we applies CDATA for each XML tag in XSL?

Thanks for your help in advance,

Abra

I'm not sure what "passing" means in that question. Or "applies". In fact I'm not sure what your question means at all. Do you have an example of what you are asking about?

Let me explain you this way,
We have an XML (lets call it as "Base XML"), on which we want to apply an XSL to transform it into another XML(Lets call it as "Xformed XML"). The one of the data element of "Base XML" contains special characters (i.e. < OR >). In XSL when I try to fetch the value from this tag, which has special characters in it, it throws an Exception having description as "javax.xml.transform.TransformerException: The conten
of elements must consist of well-formed character data or markup". Is there a way to get those special character as it in "Xformed XML", without encoding them in "<" OR ">". Hope this clears the question. I appreciate your time and feedback on this in advance.
Thanks,
Abra

So your Base XML is not well-formed and the parser rejects it. So no, there is nothing you can do in code to prevent that from happening. You will have to repair the Base XML.
