[jdom-interest] Replace existing CDATA

[Jason Long]

Sorry my mistake.  The actual XML is as follows:

<name num="1"><![CDATA[Bob Marley & The Wailers - Legend - 02 - No Woman No
Cry.mp3]]></name>

The code does work since there is no whitespace.

Just looking at it I don't think that code would work. It seems to me
that it would throw a ClasscastException. eltName.getContent().get(0)
would not return the CDATA section node. It would return the first
text node which contains only white space.
