I am using toxml() function to generate a xml file from a CDT. For some reason the elements of the xml are rendered differently when they are blank. In one case the namespace is added like this:
<someElement xmlns:xsi="www.w3.org/.../XMLSchema-instance" xsi:nil="true" />

In another case the element is just empty:
<anotherElement></anotherElement>

Ideally I would like the xml to not contain the elements if they are empty and are configured to be nillable. How could I do this?

Thanks, Moritz...

In toxml (), Every element in the CDT will come in the XML file, Do not think we can suppress the element itself. One option can be to check for null for individual elements in the CDT, and pass "" or 0 as the datatype may be so that this xsi message will not come. Here again, if the element is itself another nested CDT, do not think the xsi value can be controlled.
