Hi, I have to marshall objects with null value properties: Object: person Properties: name=Alberto Surname=Lirussi Address=null ..
Castor mashall only non null properties. So the xml look like this: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <persons> <person> <name>Alberto</name> <surname>Lirussi</surname> </person> </persons> Instead I want to marshall also the address property: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <persons> <person> <name>Alberto</name> <surname>Lirussi</surname> <address/> </person> </persons> I haven't find any help from documentation nor from the mailing lists to resolve this issue. So I modifyed the class org.exolab.castor.xml.Marshaller: line 1390: XMLFieldDescriptor elemDescriptor = descriptors[i]; Object obj = null; try { obj = elemDescriptor.getHandler().getValue(object); } catch(IllegalStateException ise) { continue; } 1399: //if (obj == null) continue; <<<<< OLD CODE if (obj == null) obj=""; // <<<<< MY CODE I don't know if this modification is generic, but it functions with my specific case. The question is: is this the only method to solve the issue? Are there any other standard methods without modifying the code? I'm using Castor 0.9.5.3.
