how to suppress xsi:nil="true" attributes in xml text
Hello XML Beans Users,
I am using xmlBeans to create xml Documents. As usual I call all the setters
of the elements and do a .xmlText(XmlOptions) or a .save(XmlOptions).
Wherever I had passed null to the setter methods I find a xsi:nil="true"
attribute, e.g. <Ort xsi:nil="true"></Ort>
First question: Why does that happen?
Second question: How can I suppress this behaviour?
I didnt find any option in Xmloptions that looked like it was it.
Thanks for your help,
Michael Wirz

Re: how to suppress xsi:nil="true" attributes in xml text
Posted by Michael Wirz <mi...@abs.de>.
Thank you, Sam, for pointing this out.
It seems that it is a matter of the schema definition.
I myself dont really like this DB-style defintion of passing null-values
through an xml. My rationale would be "easier"
a) there is a value for the tag -- fine
b) there is no value -- leave the tag emtpy
At the moment I dont have any different solution than yours:
check the data which is to be set for null, if so, dont set it - a bit
inconvinient but correct regarding XML Schema Standard.
Best regards,
Michael

which I found very helpful. The bottom line I came up with is you have to test your data for null for each item that has minOccurs="0". If it is null, then you do not want to set the value. I'll be interested if you come up with a different answer.
