Thanks for the reply!  I didn't think I have control over that as I have a POJO 
service, so I just defined my service class in the services.xml file and then 
build the appropriate URL + ?wsdl and I get the WSDL back from Axis2.  How do I 
remove the nillable attribute when Axis is the one generating the WSDL file?

Thanks,
Jesse

Subject: Re: axis2 1.4 serializes minOccurs="0" element even when set to null

Remove the nillable attribute.or set it to false. When it's set to true it 
means 'its okay to populate this element with an xsi:nil="true"', which is 
unnecessary since minOccurs is set to zero.

Hi,
I have a pojo service where the response object contains a lot of fields that 
show up like this in the WSDL:
<xs:element minOccurs="0" name="comments" nillable="true" type="xs:string"/>

When I return the containing object with comments field set to null, I would 
expect not to see it serialized but in the response XML I see:
<ax22:comments xsi:nil="true" />

This is really bloating the size of the response object because in some cases 
the majority of the fields are null.  Since it's minOccurs="0", my 
understanding is that it's perfectly legal for Axis2 to not return that 
element.  Is there a setting or something I can do to tell Axis2 to make this 
optimization?

Thanks,
Jesse
