Excluding empty array elements from the generated message

[Jaco Prinsloo]

Hi,

I have an element which is annotated as given below:

@XmlElement(name = "Items", nillable = false, required = false)
public String[] getItems() {
    return items;
}

It generates fine when it contains items, and generates an empty element
when it does not:

<ns2:Items />

Is there any way that I can configure Apache CXF to exclude this element
when it is empty, in other words, not to generate anything for it?

Thank you,
Jaco
