Hey Alek:
in short yes! XMLStreamWriter.writeEmptyElement() should be called
from OM (see example below).
Ah, but writeEmptyElement() doesn't let you write attributes, does it?
It can write <test/> but not <test foo="bar"/>, as I understand it.
yes
however i wonder why you care - from XML 1,0 and Infoset point of
view thos2e two are equivalent!
Optimization, less bytes on the wire, accurately reflecting the
bytestream that came in one end (yes, I know that the infoset is the
same, but I still think it's more polite to be able to accurately
reproduce what you got) and went out the other.
BTW: to bad that solutoion from XmlPull API did nto survive in StAX
i.e. it was intelligent to do <empty/> by default unless you called
character("") in between.
+1, that's what Axis 1 does as well.
hmm, i will take a look and see if i can change this for StAX RI -
after all infoset is equivalent ...
