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

[<Nia...@ub...>]

Hi,

Just to explain what is happening now, the first two entries are because
the ArrayList instance is being reused for efficiency and to allow
various types that do not have a no argument constructor to be used (e.g
EumSet). So when you serialize the empty string becomes 

<string></string>

This is then deserialized as null, so it re-adds the ["A", null]. To the
existing ["A", ""]. So it looks like if you really need the empty string
"" then you will need to either treat null as a special case, or
substitute "" for some token such as "NULL".

yes 1.7.3, now updated to 2.0.2.
Now the printed output is a little bit different, but still reflecting
the null problem.
values: [A, , A, null]

The xml file(same in both versions)
<testData>
  <values class="java.util.ArrayList">
     <string>A</string>
     <string></string>
  </values>
</testData>
