Re: [Simple-support] How "not" to serialize nulls

[Niall G. <gal...@ya...>]

Hi

Is the value an empty string? If it is then it will
come out with the elements. If this still does not
work then send me code that shows this, perhaps in the
form of a unit test. I find it unlikely that this is
an bug in the framework as this is very well tested.
