Re: [xsl] escaping from CDATA

[Johannes Döbler <jd@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Assumed you want to access the XML fragment as XML and not as string, then 
you could implement a URIResolver which receveives the xml fragment and 
turn it into a Source object (expressed in Java and TrAX-terms).

If the CDATA-Textnode is the current node, then use the following XPath 
expression

    document(concat('fragment:', .))

to access the fragment string as document.
The URIResolver (which is invoked when document() is called) could be 
implemented like this:

public javax.xml.transform.Source resolve(String href, String base)
{
    if (href.startsWith("fragment:"))
    {
        String fragment = href.substring("fragment:".length());
        return new javax.xml.transform.stream.StreamSource(new 
java.io.StringReader(fragment));
    }
    else
        return null;
}


Cheers,
Johannes
