xml serialization - nil attribute in elements which are not declared as nillable

[Andrej Rippich <an...@rippich.de>]

Hi,
in my actual project i'm using axis (a great piece of software!) to 
implement document style webservices.
I'm using wsdl2java to generate the Java classes representing the xml schema 
instances.
In some cases the serianlizer generates an 'nil' attribute for elements 
which are not declared as nillable.
Because the partner system validates the messages sent by my service against 
a xml schema, my messages are refused.

For example i have a simpletype (xsd:string) which is occurence in the 
parent type is defined as 0 ... unbounded.
In Java the corresponding array is'nt initialized.
The serializer generates an <element xi:nil="true"/> tag, instead of 
nothing.

Is there somthing i could do to prevent the serializer doing this ?

regards
Andrej

Check out this JIRA issue:

Does not look like it's fixed yet.
