XSI:NIL & Nillable

[Maxime Orain <Ma...@thomsonreuters.com>]

Hello!

 

Last questions for the day!

 

Why when I send xsi:nil = 'true' CXF understand that like an Empty
object?

 

Is it because my service parameter isn't set to nillable=true?

 

If it's that how can I set my service parameter to nillable = true? 

(it's working for pojo with setting the @XMLElement but I didn't find
the same for method parameter)

 

Thanks for your help!

 

Maxime.

Most likely yes.   If it's not nillable, I don't think JAXB bothers to check 
for the xsi:nil attribute as it wouldn't be valid.

The ONLY way to do this with JAXB is to generate wrapper types and edit the 
wrapper types to put the nillable="true" attribute on the @XmlElement 
annotations.  You can use the "java2ws -wrapperbean foo.bar.className" tool 
to generate initial versions of the beans.
