[Simple-support] Inner ElementList issue with WCF REST Service Response

SourceForge Headquarters 1320 Columbia Street Suite 310 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 422-6466

Hello,

We are using the simple framework 2.4.1 in Android to deserialize the WCF
REST service response. We are using the WCF Bare response format, which do
not have a enclosing parent tag in the response xml. It works well as long
as the WCF returns atleast one record in response but gives the following
error if the search do not fetch any records. Please help

*org.simpleframework.xml.core.ValueRequiredException: Unable to satisfy
@org.simpleframework.xml.ElementList(data=false, empty=true, entry=,
