For the following class:

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;

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
public class Course {

    @XmlElement (name = "book")
    @XmlNullPolicy(nullRepresentationForXml = XmlMarshalNullRepresentation.EMPTY_NODE, emptyNodeRepresentsNull=true)
    List<Book> requiredBooks = new ArrayList<Book>();

}


The XML document:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<course>
    <book/>
    <book>
        <title>Hello World</title>
    </book>
    <book/>
</course>

Should unmarshal to an object where the requiredBooks property contains two nulls and an instance of Book.  Currently this is not working.
