I have the following code:

<xsd:element name="approvalDesc" nillable="true"
type="xsd:string" maxOccurs="1" minOccurs="0">
</xsd:element>

I want the data in approvalDesc to come as CDATA as it may contain special chars which may crack XML.

I don't believe you can require a text node to be a CDATA section. Anyway your concern is misplaced because CDATA is never a requirement; it's always possible to escape text according to the standard XML rules instead.

That's the actual error message?

At any rate if the "you" in that question is you plus a text editor, then you aren't doing it right. Or if you're using standard Java I/O classes to output XML, then you aren't doing it right either. If I knew what you meant by "special characters", and what you were doing for them, I might be able to suggest a change. But I will just suggest you read the section in your XML book about escaping. It's most likely near the beginning of the book.
