[Simple-support] erialize/deserialize Lists with empty Strings

[Joe <fis...@ya...>]

Hi,

The following code prints:
values: [A, null]

Why null and not an empty String?

How can serialize/deserialize Lists with empty Strings?

thx


public class TestData
{
    @ElementList(name = "values", required = false)
    private List<String> _values = new ArrayList<String>();

    TestData()
    {
        _values.add("A");
        _values.add("");
    }

    List<String> getValues()
    {
        return _values;
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception
    {
        Serializer serializer = new Persister();
        File xmlFile = new File("test.xml");
        serializer.write(new TestData(), xmlFile);
       
        TestData sqlData = serializer.read(TestData.class, xmlFile);
        System.out.println("values: " + sqlData.getValues());
    }
}
