[jdom-interest] CDATA does not seem to work with JDOM

[Michael Hinchey]

Valid with MSIE doesn't always mean it's valid.  :)

Change the DTD to this:
<!ELEMENT myxml (tag+)>
<!ELEMENT tag (#PCDATA)>

It will work for both JDOM and MSIE.

I have written a simple xml file that includes a tag with CDATA section.
MS Internet Explorer opens the file without any problems but when I try
to build a Document object of this xml file, jdom throws the following
exception:
 
----------------------------------------------
java.io.IOException: Error on line 5 of XML document: The content of
element type "tag" is incomplete, it must match "(CDATA)".

The xml file is given below along with the DTD:
 
------------------------------------------------------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE myxml SYSTEM "MyDtd.dtd">
<myxml>
 <tag><![CDATA[ABC & DEF]]></tag>
</myxml>
------------------------------------------------------
<!ELEMENT myxml (tag+)>
<!ELEMENT tag (CDATA)>
