huh... nevermind then, it's not that critical at this stage of my
application. if the server has CDATA support, then i should be fine.
thanks!

No, the server won't touch it (only if you add a mime plugin and do it
with purpose), try this:

java javaclients.HelloWorldPublish -content "<Sometag
attribute=\"'single-quoted-value'\"/>"

java javaclients.HelloWorldSubscribe -xpath //key


The XmlScript parser does it, we should add CDATA support to it so that
we are able to send:

<xmlBlaster>
   <connect/>
   <publish>
     <key oid="1">
     <content><![CDATA[<Sometag
attribute="'single-quoted-value'"/>]]</content>
   </publish>
   <disconnect />
</xmlBlaster>

I haven't tried it but i think it's the client side script parser which
