/*from w ww . j ava 2s.co m*/
import org.w3c.dom.CDATASection;
import org.w3c.dom.Document;

DocumentBuilderFactory dbf = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
dbf.setValidating(true);
dbf.setNamespaceAware(true);
dbf.setIgnoringElementContentWhitespace(true);
Document doc = null;
try {
DocumentBuilder builder = dbf.newDocumentBuilder();
InputSource is = new InputSource("personWithDTD.xml");
doc = builder.parse(is);
addCDATA(doc);
} catch (Exception e) {
System.err.println(e);
}
}
public static void addCDATA(Document doc) {
Element root = doc.getDocumentElement();
Element place = (Element)root.getFirstChild();
Element directions = (Element)place.getLastChild();
String dirtext = "cdData.";
CDATASection dirdata = doc.createCDATASection(dirtext);
directions.replaceChild(dirdata,directions.getFirstChild());
}
}
