colspan/rowspan in xml

Hi

I want to use colspan/rowspan .
I seen the xml syntax

<row id="r01">
<cell colspan="2">value</cell>
<cell/>
<cell>value of third cell</cell>
</row>

I am using java to generate xml file.

CELL_TAG = xmldoc.createElementNS(null,"cell");
CELL_TAG.setAttributeNS(null,"colspan","2");
CELL_TAG.appendChild(xmldoc.createTextNode("Data"));

So how to generate

<cell/>

This empty tag from java?
Thanks.

It is the same tag as other ones, the next code must be enough

    CELL_TAG = xmldoc.createElementNS(null,"cell");

It will generate empty tag without any attributes
