tAdvancedFileOutputXML and empty elements

[portix]

Hello,

I'm working with an XML file, and some elements are empty, displayed like this: <element/>. However, after processing them through tAdvancedFileOutputXML and leaving them empty, Talend transforms them into this format: <element></element>. Is there any way to maintain the original structure, like this: <element/>?

Thanks!

Hello,

To obtain this in your final xml, a solution would be to add a tMap or a tJavarow

In which you would do a small transformation like this

And in the end you will get what you expected
