RE: How to delete a Child element in an XMLBeans application?

[Radu Preotiuc-Pietro]

I haven't looked at your Schema, but for optional elements/attributes, XMLBeans 
will generate unsetXXX() methods, which will remove the element/attribute 
rather than setting it to null.

        How to delete a child element in Java beans style of handling XML 
document in an XMLBeans based Java application? I can't find way to deleting a 
child element using Java types created by XMLBeans based on the XML Schema. I 
know of doing it using XMLCursor interface. 
        

        I have attached XML Schema SchemaDel.xsd, its input data InputDel.xml, 
and XMLBeans java application Delete_XmlBeans.java. This Java application logic 
wants to remove the "childElement1". However, output shows that childeElement1 
is set to nil with xsi:nil="true". I was hoping for actual output to have 
"childElement1" disappeared completely. How can I do that?
        
        Thanks in advance.
