Hi guys i am using sax to extract data from an xml file but i can't seem to
discover how to extract <![CDATA[%s]]> from the xml below is the xml and the java code

//java 
codepublic class XmlParser {

    public XmlParser(String xml) {

        try {
            SAXParserFactory factory = SAXParserFactory.newInstance();
            SAXParser saxParser = factory.newSAXParser();

            DefaultHandler handler = new DefaultHandler() {

//                boolean item = false;
                boolean title = false;
                boolean link = false;
                boolean pubDate = false;
                boolean cdata = false;

                public void startElement(String uri, String localName, String qName,
                        Attributes attributes) throws SAXException {

                    //
//                    if (qName.equalsIgnoreCase("ITEM")) {
//                        item = true;
//                    }
                    if (qName.equalsIgnoreCase("TITLE")) {
                        title = true;
                    }

                    if (qName.equalsIgnoreCase("LINK")) {
                        link = true;
                    }

                    if (qName.equalsIgnoreCase("PUBDATE")) {
                        pubDate = true;
                    }
                    if(qName.equalsIgnoreCase("![CDATA[%s]]")){
                        cdata = true;
                    }

                }

                public void endElement(String uri, String localName,
                        String qName) throws SAXException {
                }

                public void characters(char ch[], int start, int length) throws SAXException {

//                    if (item) {
//                        System.out.println("First Name : " + new String(ch, start, length));
//                        bfname = false;
//                    }
                    if (title) {
                        System.out.println("======================================");
                        System.out.println("title : " + new String(ch, start, length));
                        title = false;
                    }

                    if (link) {
                        System.out.println("link : " + new String(ch, start, length));
                        link = false;
                    }
                    if(cdata){
                        System.out.println("here");
                    }

                    if (pubDate) {
                        System.out.println("pubDate : " + new String(ch, start, length));
                        System.out.println("======================================");
                        pubDate = false;
                    }


                }

            };

            StringReader a = new StringReader(xml);
            InputSource s = new InputSource(a);
            saxParser.parse(s, handler);
        } catch (ParserConfigurationException | SAXException | IOException e) {
            System.out.println("Error");
           System.out.println(e);
        }

    }
}

This is the xml file
