Hi Vikram, I don't understand how you're getting the output:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <MyCustomer> <first-name>Aaron</first-name> <last-name>Smith</last-name> <Address/> </MyCustomer> with this binding. You *should* get: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <MyCustomer> <Address> <first-name>Aaron</first-name> <last-name>Smith</last-name> </Address> </MyCustomer> If you don't want the <Address> element present at all, just remove name="Address" from the <structure> element in the binding. - Dennis Dennis M.
