The Verifier class has static methods to check JDOM input. The CDATA
text is checked with Verifier.checkCDATASection(). If you think you
were able to pass in illegal chars without it noticing, identify which
chars and let us know. Otherwise the more likely problem is related to
encoding where perhaps your output and input encodings don't match, thus
creating problem characters out of the corrupted data.
