XMLEncoder does not encode zero values

Question

I'm encoding a short integer with value 0 and XMLEncoder does not encode it.

How can I force it?

What do mean by a short integer, what primitive type are you using? — Martijn Verburg, Dec 09 '10 at 12:36
I switched to another library: XStream (http://xstream.codehaus.org/) Much simpler and it works. — daigorocub, Dec 12 '10 at 02:10

XMLEncoder does not encode default values. It saves space. It works.

It works sometimes. Unfortunately unless the semantics are well defined (e.g. a correctly used XSD -- perhaps with xsl:nil -- or documentation) it might leave someone with some "bad data". A missing attribute is different than an attribute with a default value. – Dec 10 '10 at 06:26
I'm referring to values that are defaulted in the Java code, not the XSD. Not sure what XSD's have to do with XMLEncoder actually, they all share the same one. – user207421 Dec 13 '10 at 00:43
