Create XML with CDATA section (using IF_IXML_DOCUMENT class)

[Former Member]

Hello,

I'm creating an XML file using the IF_IXML_DOCUMENT class.

This is going great, except that I'm not able to create a CDATA section in an element.

I've already tried to concatenate the <![CDATA[ into my variable, but the < is translated to &lt;.

So that didn't do the trick.

Anybody knows how to do this?

I know that there is a create_cdata_section method but I don't see how to use it.

Thanks in advance,

Andy.

Got it. Thanks anyways!

Example Code:

DATA:

ixml TYPE REF TO if_ixml,

document TYPE REF TO if_ixml_document,

parent TYPE REF TO if_ixml_node,

element TYPE REF TO if_ixml_element,

cdata TYPE REF TO if_ixml_cdata_section.

ixml = cl_ixml=>create( ).

document = ixml->create_document( ).

element = document->create_element( name = 'RootNode' ).

document->append_child( new_child = element ).

parent = element.

element = document->create_element( name = 'ChildNode' ).

parent->append_child( new_child = element ).

parent = element.

element = document->create_element( name = 'SomeOtherTag' ).

element->set_attribute( name = 'SomeValue' value = '4711' ).

cdata = document->create_cdata_section( `I0u2TRx6NqlX00002X56um` ).

element = document->create_element( name = 'Example' ).

element->append_child( new_child = cdata ).

parent->append_child( new_child = element ).
