[Simple-support] How can I make Simple not to serialize empty ArrayList?

[Vojtěch R. <ry...@ce...>]

Good day, I need an advice please. let's say I have class Person:

|@Root(name="Person")
public  class  Person  {

   @Element(name="Name")
   public  String  name=  "MyName"

   @ElementList(name="AddressList",  entry="Address",  required=false)
   public  ArrayList<Address>  addressList=  new  ArrayList<>();

}|

... and class Address:

|public  class  Address  {

   @Element(name="Street")
   public  String  street;

   @Element(name="City")
   public  String  city;
}|

When addressList has no items Simple produces this XML:

|<Person>
   <Name>MyName</Name>
   <AddressList/>
</Person>|

Please, how can I make Simple omit tag *AddressList* if there are no 
items on the list? I want the XML look like this in such case:

|<Person>
   <Name>MyName</Name>
</Person>|

I don't want to set the addressList to null. When I create Person object 
I want the addressList to be initialized so that I can easily add 
addresses if needed and I don't need to check whehter it is null and 
instantiate it. The example above is very simple but when my object 
hierarchy is more complicated it is unconvenient to check and initialize 
all lists. I hoped I could resolve it using some anotation or custom 
converter or something like that.

Thank you in advance. Vojta
