Sorry about being too short in the beginning.....

I am building content editor web app using JAXB. So on one of the page
showing up to the user having fields corresponding to each elements in
schema. Now if user does not enter value in one of the field. I don't want
to marshall empty field back to xml. So for example if page has

foo input field and user does not fill that up .... than i don't want
<foo/> in underline xml file.

The reason is the other search functionality in my app searching these
content xmls for some schema elements based on criteria.

Let me know if you need more info. Thanks for the quick reply thou

I'm not sure if I follow. You mean, <foo></foo> instead of <foo />?

I'm very curious. Why?
