mapping convert string to datetime

Hi

I have a message that contains a string element that holds a date value in
the format yyyymmdd. Sometimes the element is empty. How does one map an
empty string to a date field. I want the destination xml to have the element
appearing with a empty value

Thanks

Tim

You'll have to mark the destination node as nillable. But setting the
value when the source node is empty is another challenge. Search for
"xsi:nil".
