When trying to convert an XML file to a FLIST (Using the java API XMLToFlist) and one of the elements in the input XML contains the string "dummy", the java API XMLToFlist converts the string "dummy" to an empty string.

Example:

$> cat sample3.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<flist>
<POID>0.0.0.1 / -1 0</POID>
<IN_FLIST>
<DATA_ARRAY elem="0">
<ACCOUNT_NO>01000102</ACCOUNT_NO>
<COMPANY>dummy ACME 45</COMPANY>
<CONTACT_INFO elem="0">
<NAME>dummy</NAME> <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
<ADDRESS>ACME45 N/A</ADDRESS>
<CITY>Stockholm</CITY>
<COUNTRY>SE</COUNTRY>
</CONTACT_INFO>
<INV_INFO elem="0">
<DELIVERY_PREFER>1</DELIVERY_PREFER>
</INV_INFO>
</DATA_ARRAY>
</IN_FLIST>
</flist>
