Converting from java to json, drops objects that are null

Currently CXF when converting from java to json, drops objects that are null. 

For example,

object{
  child_1 = null;
  child_2 = new Object();
}

existing JSON output is   {object:{child_2:{some value}}

Instead of not returning child1, is it possible to have it default to empty
string?

         {object:{child_1:"", child_2:{some value}}


Thanks in advance.

You probably need to add a nillable property to a given JAXB XMLElement

cheers, Sergey
