CPI Message mapping is it possible to retain empty XML elements on the target XML?

[Raj_Nallaguntla]

Hi All,

checking if its possible to send empty xml elements as for eg <ABC/> ( empty tag) on the target xml,

XML file generated from CPI MM does not include the empty tag when no value found on the source.

I understand that no value of sending empty xml element on the target

but have specific requirement to match the legacy xml file which includes empty elements . any idea or pointers ?

Thanks,

Thank you Yetan and Sriprasad for your inputs.

Yes I agree if we need the start tag/end tag will need default value mapped for those fields.

In my case though I need only empty tag <ENDTAG/> ( defined as xstring )on the target.

What I noticed further checking on this ... if that helps others

When the source tag for eg <STARTTAG></STARTTAG> exists on the source xml file that is mapped to <ENDTAG> then CPI message mapping by default includes <ENDTAG/> empty tag in the target xml

if the source tag does not exists then it is skipped totally on the target XML.
