Michael NevinsSubject: Failure of CDATA converting properly
Author: Michael Nevins

I am having a problem with maintaining the CDATA in my output with every line of code that is blank. I maintain the element name and attribute, but lose the CDATA.

<Line Number="60"><![CDATA[]]></Line>

I get back the following:
<Line Number="60"/>

Please advise

Nothing we can do there; an empty CDATA section implies you really have no text node there. And when you serialize the element back, no children text nodes are created either; which implies you don't get the CDATA section back.

Just to be clear, as already hinted in a different post, there is no difference in the XML infoset among:
<element/>
<element></element>
<element><![CDATA[]]></element>

Well the processor that I am feeding needs to see the CDATA for each unique line number that exists. Any suggestions?

...other than forcing at least one character (maybe a whitespace) to become the content of the empty element, I wouldn't know what to suggest.
