Is there any way to force an element to be marshalled to XML even if the field in the Java object is null or empty?
I am marshalling XML to a remote web service that requires a CostCenter field in the XML, even if that field is null. Here is an example of the XML that is being produced: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <Order> <LineItem><ItemNumber>124029</ItemNumber><ItemQty>1</ItemQty><CostCenter>1234567.1234.123</CostCenter></LineItem> <LineItem><ItemNumber>122094</ItemNumber><ItemQty>1</ItemQty></LineItem> <LineItem><ItemNumber>119106</ItemNumber><ItemQty>1</ItemQty></LineItem> <LineItem><ItemNumber>119105</ItemNumber><ItemQty>1</ItemQty></LineItem> </Order> Only the first <LineItem> includes the <CostCenter> element, but I need all of them to include it, even if it is an empty item i.e. <CostCenter></CostCenter> __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
