Creating a CDATA section in a Document ... What am I doing wrong?

Question

I am creating XML on the fly in Java using the Oracle XML parser (in my jar xmlparserv2, a file named ".xdkjava_version_9.2.0.6.0_production" exists).
I have the following code:
(m_document is a class variable defined as type "Document")
Element addCDATANode(Node p_nodeParent, String p_nodeName, String p_nodeValue)
Element e = m_document.createElement(p_elementName);
p_nodeParent.appendChild(e);
CDATASection cds = m_document.createCDATASection(p_nodeValue);
e.appendChild(cds);
return e;
This is appending the data to the node, but it is missing the CDATA delimiters. This causes problems when imported back in, as the data is encoded and does not parse back into XML correctly.
Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

I hope this helps too. This result also seems to point to a defect.
CODE:
public class ParserTest {
     static String xml = "<xml><report><![CDATA[This is a test.\nThis is only a test.]]></report></xml>";
     public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception
          DocumentBuilderFactory dbFactory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
          //Results are same regardless of setting here.
          dbFactory.setNamespaceAware(true);
          DocumentBuilder docBuilder = dbFactory.newDocumentBuilder();
          System.out.println("DocumentBuilder Class: " + docBuilder.getClass().getName());
          System.out.println("Starting XML: \n" + xml);
          Document d = docBuilder.parse( new ByteArrayInputStream(xml.getBytes()) );
          ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
          XMLDocument doc = (XMLDocument) d;
          doc.print(baos);
          System.out.println("\nEnding XML: \n" + baos.toString());
RESULTS:
DocumentBuilder Class: oracle.xml.jaxp.JXDocumentBuilder
Starting XML:
<xml><report><![CDATA[This is a test.
This is only a test.]]></report></xml>
Ending XML:
<xml>
<report>This is a test.
This is only a test.</report>
</xml>
