Null value not getting propogated?

[Irv Salisbury <ir...@gmail.com>]

We are setting a value to null like:

updateHistory( String s ){
   myXmlBean.setSomeValue( s );
}

If I then do a:

String s = myXmlBean.getSomeValue();

It returns null.  However, when I serialize this to a SAX output
stream, if there was a value in there before, it shows up in the
serialized output.  It seems like if you set the value to null, the
element is not cleared out.  Am I doing something wrong here?  To get
around this, I have to:

if( s == null ){
 myXmlBean.setSomeValue( "" );
}

This "clears" out the xml bean.  

Any help is appreciated.  We did also try calling setNil, etc.

Thanks,

Irv
