Avi,
It might not be the ideal solution, but you could implement a custom
FieldHandler that simply returns null from the FieldHandler#getValue()
method if the boolean value is false.
It would be nice if Castor had a simple property that can be set to
indicate that default values should be filtered out during marshalling,
unfortunately we don't have such a feature at this time.
Please see here for more information on handlers:

Hi ALL,
When I unmarshall an XML file, where the castor map file contains the
following description:
<field name="MyBool" type="boolean" required="false">
<bind-xml name="MyBool" node="element"/>
</field>
The target class boolean "MyBool" will contain the value "false" if the
original XML file did not contain the element "MyBool" (line
"<MyBool>false</MyBool>" did not appear in the XML file).
Now I want exactly the opposite to happen when I marshall a class with
boolean field "MyBool" with false value to an XML file - I would like
the
File NOT to include the line "<MyBool>false</MyBool>". It is somewhat
hard to do that as one must have a true or false value in boolean
variable (unlike String that can have the value null).
Is there a way to do that?
