Hi, I am not sure about whether or not we should change the Castor marshalling code to pass in a different character to the serializer. The serializer shouldn't be able to produce the NULL character so I guess the correct behavior will be to have the Serializer to throw an exception when trying to write that character. However we might indeed need to change the handling of empty collection.
