face="Lucida Sans">I know that your team added the DataOmitDefaultSlicer flag to
prevent dozens of unused dimensions coming back in the slicer each request. When
was no WHERE clause, or the WHERE clause evaluated to an empty set, there would
be no members in the slicer, and therefore no slicer axis would be returned.

face="Lucida Sans">This is a problem for the olap4j driver, since it needs to
distinguish between a missing WHERE clause (one tuple with zero members) and a
WHERE clause that evaluates to empty (zero tuples).</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

face="Lucida Sans">So, I have changed the mondrian XMLA server's
response. It always returns a slicer axis. In the cases above, the slicer
will either have no tuples or one tuple with no positions, so the change
adds only a few bytes to each XMLA response.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
