Hi All,

I've been searching JIRA for any issue serializing text data that 
contains CDATA keyword (but is not a fully formed CDATA section) I 
couldn't see one, so I'm posting here before I starting debugging the 
Serializer code to see if anyone has seen this issue.

In the input XML we have the following text node:

&lt;value&gt;&lt;![CDATA[-1]]&gt;&lt;/value&gt;

Our application is using Xerces to parse this XML and its correctly 
recognized as a character event. If I try to serialize this same 
character event, the resulting XML ends up like:

<value><![CDATA[-1]]]]><![CDATA[></value>

This looks wrong to me and results in a malformed XML File.

Any input would be welcomed.

Thanks,

Chris
