-------------------------------------------

Is anyone else experiencing this? It causes the generated XML to fail validation which seems like a serious issue.

>                 URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XMLBEANS-220
>             Project: XMLBeans
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: XmlObject
>    Affects Versions: Version 2
>         Environment: Windows XP, JDK 1.4.2_05
>            Reporter: James Webster

> We have defined a type in the schema as...
> <xsd:complexType name="MyType">
>    <xsd:element name="mandatoryElement" type="xsd:string"/>
>    <xsd:element name="optionalElement" minOccurs="0" type="xsd:string"/>
> </xsd:complexType>
> According to the XML Schema specification, false is the default value for the optional 'nillable' attribute on xsd:element. So the 'optionalElement' element is nillable='false'.
> We instantiate an instance of the MyType class, set the mandatory element and get the value of xmlText()...
> MyType type = MyType.Factory.newInstance();
> type.setMandatoryElement("someValue");
> String xmlText = type.xmlText();
> The value of xmlText generated by XMLBeans v2.0 is...
> <MyType>
>   <mandatoryElement>someValue</mandatoryElement>
>   <optionalElement xsi:nil="true"/>
> </MyType>
> BUT, we would expect (given that optionalElement is NOT nillable) to see the following...
> <MyType>
>   <mandatoryElement>someValue</mandatoryElement>
> </MyType>
> Our investigations into the XMLBeans API suggests that it is not possible (via XmlOptions, etc) to suppress the xsi: attributes, so we believe this may be a bug? We are at no point explicitly setting the optionalElement to null.
