Description Matt MacIvor CLA 2011-03-08 10:42:27 EST 
When unmarshalling an empty root element (that maps to a complex type) with xsi:nil, EclipseLink currently returns a JAXBElement wrapping an empty instance of the associated class. 

This should instead return the JAXBElement wrapping null with nil being set to true.
