[Simple-support] Serializing/ deserializing Maps with null values

[Stanislaw O. <sta...@ca...>]

Hi once more,

Does the framework currently support serializing/ deserializing maps with
null values (see code below)? The serializer seems to output an empty node
for such entries (with no key), which causes the deserializer to fail.
Obviously, I can hack this around quite easily, but I was wondering if this
is the intended behaviour?

@Root
public class SimpleTest
{
    @ElementMap
    private Map<String, String> test = new HashMap<String, String>();

    public static void main(String [] args) throws Exception
    {
        SimpleTest test = new SimpleTest();
        test.test.put("test", null);

        Persister persister = new Persister();
        persister.write(test, System.out);
    }
}

Cheers,

Staszek
