[jdom-interest] Element.addContent(CDATA cdata) depreciation suggestion?

[Jason Long]

Thank you for the suggestion.
The following is currently doing exactly what I am looking for:

elt3.addContent((new CDATA(((new XMLOutputter()).outputString(elt2)))));

I would like to avoid creating another class just to do this one
operation.  
My problem is that Element.addContent(CDATA cdata) is depreciated.  I
looked in the javadoc for beta8 and beta9, but I could no note of its
depreciation in beta8 and it is not present in the src of beta9.  Could
someone please offer a simple solution to this depreciated method?

How about this, extend XMLOutputter and override printElement

    public class MyOutputter extends XMLOutputter {

        protected void printElement(Element element, Writer out,
                                    int level, NamespaceStack stack) {
            if ((element.getName()).equals("text")) {
                out.write("<text>");
                out.write("<![CDATA[");
                outputElementContent(element, out);
                out.write("]]>");
                out.write("</text>");
            }
            else {
                super.printElement(element, out, level, stack);
            }
        }
    }
