/**
* <b>Purpose:</b> This enumeration provides a means of specifying how a null value in a
* java object should be marshalled to XML. The possible options are:<br>
* <ul>
* <li>XSI_NIL - This means that the element should be written out with an xsi:nil attribute. Example:
* <code>&lt;element xsi:nil="true"/&gt;</code></li>
* <li>EMPTY_NODE - This indicates that the element should be written out to xml with no contents
* Example: <code>&lt;element /&gt;</code></li>
* <li>ABSENT_NODE - Absent node means that no element should be written to XML if null is encountered
* </ul>
