XMLConfiguration Empty Tag syntax

I'm parsing some XML and moving it over from one XMLConfiguration object
to another as follows:

 

private void mergeTopNode(XMLConfiguration masterCfg, XMLConfiguration
mergedCfg,

                                     String nodeName)

    {

        SubnodeConfiguration subNode =
masterCfg.configurationAt(nodeName);

        List nodeList = new ArrayList();

        nodeList.add(subNode.getRootNode());

        mergedCfg.clearTree(nodeName);

        mergedCfg.addNodes("", nodeList);

    }

 

I have an issue where the node in the first configuration is:

 

<Foo>

</Foo>

 

Using the code above the node appears in the second configuration as 

 

<Foo/>

 

I checked http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/#dt-empty and the syntax is legal
however the consumer of the second configuration does not seem to follow
the standard. Is there a setting in the library that I could use to
enforce the orginal syntax?

 

Thanks.

Yes, the xml is valid and can browse using IE. Thank you for your
response.

Unfortunately there is no such setting. The formatting capabilities of 
XMLConfiguration are pretty limited.

But just to make sure: The outcome is valid XML, right? You can open it 
with other XML editors or web browsers?
