Not really sure you can mix CDATA and normal text in XML… If I remember correcltly, its better to wrap ALL of the text-content inside the CDATA block.

I tried this as well, but then the getElementText() method just returns an empty string.

That's strange, since we use the same approach (getElementText()) for script-tasks, which generally always have a CDATA declaration:


((ScriptTask) parentElement).setScript(xtr.getElementText());

Did you double-check the correct CDATA-syntax?
