We're consuming SOAP messages for which the string type was extended or redefined (see at the bottom). To denote null/empty values the XML element uses "VEMPTY" as text content.
Example: <ns2:modifiedBy>VEMPTY</ns2:modifiedBy> Before the message is deserialized and mapped to the Java model we'd like to transform "VEMPTY" to "". As this special text content can appear in arbitrary elements I don't think the standard TransformationFeature as per https://cxf.apache.org/docs/transformationfeature.html#TransformationFeature-Replacingtextcontent is applicable. Correct? I suspect we need to use the XSLT transformation, right? [StringType] <xsd:simpleType name="StringType"> <xsd:annotation> <xsd:documentation xml:lang="en"> ...some documentation...
