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,

I have some valid xml embedded in a CDATA section:

<![CDATA[<element attr="100"><a>100</a><b>200</b></element>]]>
I don't control the source XML so I just have to accept this.
My question is how I can access the XML fragment inside the
CDATA section. THankx
