[jdom-interest] CDATA problem

[Jason Hunter]

Sounds like you need to set the encoding on the file 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="xxx"?> 
to be correct for the file contents.  If you don't specify an encoding
the Xerces parser is defaulting to UTF-8 (as per the XML spec) which is
prob'ly not the encoding you're using.  My guess is you need ISO-8859-1.
