[axis2] Writing an empty element?

[Glen Daniels]

Anyone have a clue if there is a way to use the XMLStreamWriter to get:
<elem attr="1"/>

instead of:

<elem attr="1"></elem>

for elements with attributes but no content?

If not, this seems VERY BAD.

Here is some code:

        String xml = "<test attr='foo'><check/></test>";
        ByteArrayInputStream bis = new 
ByteArrayInputStream(xml.getBytes());
        XMLStreamReader reader = 
XMLInputFactory.newInstance().createXMLStreamReader(bis);
        OMXMLParserWrapper builder = 
OMXMLBuilderFactory.createStAXOMBuilder(OMAbstractFactory.getSOAP11Factory(), 
reader);
        XMLStreamWriter writer = 
XMLOutputFactory.newInstance().createXMLStreamWriter(System.out);
        builder.getDocumentElement().serialize(writer);

NOTE - to get this working I needed to update StreamingOMSerializer:137 
with:

            writer.writeStartElement(reader.getLocalName());

This code outputs:

<test attr="foo"><check xmlns=""></check></test>

This doesn't seem correct.  It should, I think, output the <check/> 
element as it is in the original XML, and it certainly shouldn't be 
adding the xmlns="" attribute.  Am I missing something?

Thanks,
