CharacterData Not Visible?

I am trying to get the data inside of a CDATA SOAP Element.

To do so, I have followed the instructions provided by How can SOAPMessage parse <![CDATA[ ]]>?.

This and other examples require me to use the following code segments:

SOAPBody soapBody = soapMessage.getSOAPBody();
NodeList nodeList = soapBody.getElementsByTagName("outerElementOfCDATA");
Element element = (Element) nodeList.item(0);
Node child = element.getFirstChild();
String characterData;
if (child instanceof CharacterData) {
    characterData = ((CharacterData) child).getData();
}

However, when I try to use "instanceof CharacterData", I get an error saying CharacterData is not visible. (For reference: I am getting this information from eclipse)

It doesn't make any sense to me. Any suggestions?

Update (I searched more thoroughly and found an answer):

import org.w3c.dom.CharacterData;

Don't use the standard CharacterData from java.lang.
