Since Java doesn't have nillable types in the same way that .NET do, I think you would have a hard time solving this issue. With my experience of CXF and nillable types I've seen that when defining an element nillable, but required like this: @XmlElement(nillable=true, required=true) private Date date; Then the consumer classes (generated by CXF) would be something like this: private JAXBElement<Date> date; The JAXBElement object has a isNull-method that you can use to see if the element was sent in as null: <MyPojo> <date xsi:nil="true"/> </MyPojo> Or if the value was sent but had the value null inside: <MyPojo> <date></date> </MyPojo> I'm not sure if it is possible to accomplish these two variants of null when you expose a service, since CXF does all the mapping directly on your regular classes (no stubs in the picture). -- Henning -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Another-question-about-nillable%3Dtrue-and-minOccurs%3D0-tp22080637p22089791.html Sent from the cxf-user mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
