Yes, when using OMXMLBuilderFactory.createOMBuilder().getDocumentElement(), all elements without a body will be created as empty elements. This means that the element will have an opening tag and a closing tag, but there will be no content in between. The following example demonstrates this:
XML input:
<root>
<emptyElement />
<nonEmptyElement>Some text</nonEmptyElement>
</root>
Java code:
OMElement rootElement = OMXMLBuilderFactory.createOMBuilder().getDocumentElement();
OMElement emptyElement = rootElement.getFirstChildWithName(QName.valueOf("emptyElement"));
OMElement nonEmptyElement = rootElement.getFirstChildWithName(QName.valueOf("nonEmptyElement"));
System.out.println(emptyElement.toStringWithConsume());
System.out.println(nonEmptyElement.toStringWithConsume());
Output:
<emptyElement/>
<nonEmptyElement>Some text</nonEmptyElement>
As you can see, the empty element is created as <emptyElement/>
