Writes an XmlSerializable<T> object.

If the value is null this is a no-op.

If rootElementName is null this is the same as calling writeXml(XmlSerializable<?> value).

Parameters:

value - XmlSerializable<T> object to write.
rootElementName - Override of the XML element name defined by the object.

Returns:

The updated XmlWriter object.

Throws:

XMLStreamException

- If the XML object cannot be written.
