Biztalk Mapper: Cannot have ']]>' inside an XML CDATA block.

Question

Hi experts,

i m calling an C# functions inside the XSLT,
<msxsl:script language="C#" implements-prefix="userCSharp">
<![CDATA[ methods here..

]]>
</msxsl:script>
while saving the map with above changes , its throwing error "Cannot have ']]>' inside an XML CDATA block.".
Can any body help to slove this CDATA issue.

Answer 1

<![CDATA[Nesting is not allowed "]]>" document]]>

So, the above line is written as two parts as follows. This is the exact way to put a section end inside a CDATA section. By which replace]] > in the specified data with]]]] ><! [CDATA [> so that “>” is perfectly away from the brackets (as we broke the bracket sequence). And when the parser looks out for ]]> it is specified as the three-character sequence.

Answer 2

Hi There,

Thank you for asking this question on the Microsoft Q&A Platform.

How does BizTalk handle CDATA? Well, BizTalk does what it should when it receives a node with a CDATA section. The XML Disassembler skips the parsing of the inner data. The maps are where you can run into issues because they will remove the CDATA tags when the data is being mapped.

Luckily they provided a way for you to add the CDATA sections back into the output message to ensure they are escaped correctly. You can do that by setting the property called CDATA section elements.

I would suggest to check the below blogpost to understand the way,
