If I don't want to print out the element with empty
attibutes or child elements, for example <student/> in
the xml file, what should I do? Thanks you.

one example i can think of is a <load-on-startup/> element of a war
deployment descriptor.
i was thinking about adding a property to BeanWriter which would allow
empty element writing to be turned off. maybe this property should default
to not writing since that seems likely to be the most common setting.
maybe later, we could add more finely grained control by add attribute
which would override this setting to the .betwixt file.
comments?

Desmond,
It does write empty elements under certain conditions.Since that looks
very sloppy, I was planning on elemenating all empty elements, since
they don't have any use.
Do you have any specific reasons why you want to be able to print empty
elements ?
Mvgr,
martin
