WsECL3.0 doesn't provide an option to return empty elements in the response data

Environment

Alpha cert

Description

Note: Discussed this with Tony Fishbeck.

Formerly (in WsECL1.0, and on WsECL2.0 XSLT tab), all empty elements were returned in the query response data, but these are being dropped in WsECL3.0.

As such, custom stylesheets that have been developed for several Roxie queries no longer function correctly, as they depend on the empty elements to display the tabular results correctly.

At a minimum, it would be beneficial to allow for an option to request the return of empty elements for a query at runtime; otherwise, restoring the previous behavior across the board would be acceptable as well.

If this can be fixed and made available in a 4.2.10 build version, that would definitely help the rollout of OSS Roxies in the Alpharetta environment.

Also, running any custom XSLT should automatically set .trim=0

I've added support for a .trim=0 option to http based queries.

That is, WsECL soap, json, URL, and FORM queries.
rest: http://ip:port/WsEcl/submit/query/roxie/myquery?param1=abc&.trim=0
soap: http://ip:port/WsEcl/soap/query/roxie/myquery?.trim=0

And roxie direct soap and json queries.
soap or json http://ip:port/target?.trim=0
