Hi Daniel, Generating the empty tag (rather than a start tag immediately followed by an end tag) was an enhancement put in a while ago, because the empty tag form is more readable (and more compact). In XML terms, the two representations are identical - any reasonable XML process tool should treat them the same. Why do you need the start tag/end tag form?
If you really do need this, the only way to generate it would be to modify one of the IXMLWriter subclasses in the org.jibx.runtime.impl package. These are the classes that actually write output, and that's where this is controlled. You could copy whichever class is appropriate as a base (or perhaps even just subclass it and override - I haven't looked to see if this would work), then set the IXMLWriter instance directly on your marshalling context. - Dennis Dennis M.
