Since the option is to remove type information, I would go with number 2.
That is all the behavior that the option implies.

Another option may be nice to allow turning on/off the serialization of
empty elements.

What should be the proper behavior under these circumstances?

1)  Don't serialize the element at all?

     -or-

2) Serialize an empty element?

                    to axis-dev









On a client side application I have code to shut off the xsi type
information:
    Call aCall = (Call) service.createCall();
    aCall.setTargetEndpointAddress(url);
    aCall.setOption(AxisEngine.PROP_DOMULTIREFS, Boolean.FALSE);
    aCall.setOption(AxisEngine.PROP_SEND_XSI, Boolean.FALSE);
    aCall.setOption(Call.SEND_TYPE_ATTR, Boolean.FALSE);

xsi information is still being generated for null objects when I use the
BeanSerializer.
