Given the following class:

import javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlElement;
import javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlRootElement;
import org.eclipse.persistence.oxm.annotations.XmlMarshalNullRepresentation;
import org.eclipse.persistence.oxm.annotations.XmlNullPolicy;

@XmlRootElement(name="RootEntity")
public class RootEntity {

    @XmlElement(name="EntityOne")
    @XmlNullPolicy(emptyNodeRepresentsNull=true, nullRepresentationForXml=XmlMarshalNullRepresentation.EMPTY_NODE)
    public Entity entityOne;

    @XmlElement(name="EntityTwo")
    @XmlNullPolicy(emptyNodeRepresentsNull=true, nullRepresentationForXml=XmlMarshalNullRepresentation.EMPTY_NODE)
    public Entity entityTwo;

}

And the following XML:

<RootEntity> 
    <EntityOne id="objectID"/> 
    <EntityTwo /> 
</RootEntity> 

The corresponding object unmarshalled should have the entityOne property set to an instance of Entity, and entityTwo set to null.  Currently both are set to null.

This only happens if there are no sub-elements.
