Append CDATA using org.springframework.oxm jaxb2marshaller

I am having big trouble while marshaling few elements to XML with CDATA using jaxb2marshaller. I have gone through the solutions like:

JAXB Marshalling Unmarshalling with CDATA

How to generate CDATA block using JAXB?

and much more, but could not find a proper solution. They either tell to switch to old JAXB implementation or use MOXY. But, this is not my requirement. I have implemented below two classes using OXM library and want to generate an XML where few elements need to have CDATA appended.

import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.Map;

import org.springframework.context.annotation.Bean;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;
import org.springframework.oxm.jaxb.Jaxb2Marshaller;

@Configuration
public class AppConfig {
    @Bean
    public Processor getHandler(){
      Processor handler= new Processor();
      handler.setMarshaller(getCastorMarshaller());
      handler.setUnmarshaller(getCastorMarshaller());
      return handler;
    }
    @Bean
    public Jaxb2Marshaller getCastorMarshaller() {
      Jaxb2Marshaller jaxb2Marshaller = new Jaxb2Marshaller();
      jaxb2Marshaller.setPackagesToScan("com.pom.dom.whatever.model");
      Map<String,Object> map = new HashMap<String,Object>();
      map.put("jaxb.formatted.output", true);
      jaxb2Marshaller.setMarshallerProperties(map);
          return jaxb2Marshaller;
    }
}

and

import java.io.FileInputStream;
import java.io.FileOutputStream;
import java.io.IOException;

import javax.xml.transform.stream.StreamResult;
import javax.xml.transform.stream.StreamSource;

import org.springframework.oxm.Marshaller;
import org.springframework.oxm.Unmarshaller;

public class Processor {
    private Marshaller marshaller;
    private Unmarshaller unmarshalling;

    public void setMarshaller(Marshaller marshaller) {
        this.marshaller = marshaller;
    }

    public void setUnmarshaller(Unmarshaller unmarshalling) {
        this.unmarshaller = unmarshaller;
    }
    //Converts Object to XML file
    public void objectToXML(String fileName, Object graph) throws IOException {
        FileOutputStream fos = null;
        try {
            fos = new FileOutputStream(fileName);
            marshaller.marshal(graph, new StreamResult(fos));
        } finally {
            fos.close();
        }
    }
    //Converts XML to Java Object
    public Object xmlToObject(String fileName) throws IOException {
        FileInputStream fis = null;
        try {
            fis = new FileInputStream(fileName);
            return unmarshaller.unmarshal(new StreamSource(fis));
        } finally {
            fis.close();
        }
    }
}

In Main class:

generateXML(){
public void generateCheckXML(ReportDTO repDTO, String fileName){

        AnnotationConfigApplicationContext ctx = new AnnotationConfigApplicationContext();
        ctx.register(AppConfig.class);
        ctx.refresh();
        Processor processor = ctx.getBean(Processor.class);
        ObjectFactory objectFactory = new ObjectFactory();

        TRIMSInterface trimsInterface = objectFactory.createTRIMSInterface();

        // setters

        processor.objectToXML(fileName,trimsInterface);

 }
}

and a simple POJO class with setters and getters to produce the XML.

Can I do some changes anywhere above to produce the XML with required CDATA attribute?

NOTE: I already tried EclipseLink Moxy(@XmlData) and it does not integrate with OXM. I am looking to implement this without using a third party jar in my code.
