Description Carsten Reckord CLA 2010-09-08 10:13:39 EDT 
When saving XML, the character sequence ]]> is not correctly escaped when occuring in a String to-many attribute. 

We are stumbling over this when saving java method bodies in UML OpaqueBehavior.body. This fails for method bodies like

writer.println("<![CDATA[stuff]]>");

which is currently encoded as

writer.println(&quot;&lt;![CDATA[stuff]]>&quot;);

(note the unescaped ']]>')

Specifically, I think in XMLSave.saveDataTypeMany(), Escape.escapeText() should be used instead of Escape.escape().

The fix is committed to CVS for 2.7.  I assume it's pretty easy to work around this problem in older releases.
Comment 2 Ed Merks CLA 2010-11-05 05:41:29 EDT 
The fix is available in the latest build for the stream.
