Request message mapping giving blank xml message

Question

I was trying a scenario JDBC-> XI -> RFC for tranporting the db table data from sqlserver to sap r/3.
At the time of designing the mapping is working correctly.
But in the pipeline step "Request message mapping" it is generating the inbound message but with any values from outbound source message.
source message (xml ) structure
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ns0:CUST_REQ_MT xmlns:ns0="urn:sqlserver:vendor">
  <row>
    <NAME></NAME>
    <ADDRESS></ADDRESS>
    <AGE></AGE>
    <LOGIN></LOGIN>
    <PASSWORD></PASSWORD>
  </row>
</ns0:CUST_REQ_MT>
and target message structure is
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ns0:ZBAPI_UPDATE_JDBC xmlns:ns0="urn:sap-com:document:sap:rfc:functions">
  <UPDATE>
    <item>
      <NAME></NAME>
      <ADDRESS></ADDRESS>
      <AGE></AGE>
      <LOGIN></LOGIN>
      <PASSWORD></PASSWORD>
    </item>
  </UPDATE>
</ns0:ZBAPI_UPDATE_JDBC>
I have used the Graphical mapping tool for mapping these two MT's.
the payload in the request message mapping step is as follows:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
- <ns0:ZBAPI_UPDATE_JDBC xmlns:ns0="urn:sap-com:document:sap:rfc:functions">
- <UPDATE>
  <item />
  </UPDATE>
  </ns0:ZBAPI_UPDATE_JDBC>
here you can see a blank tag <item/>.
How can i resolve this issue. I can not see any error anywhere.

Hi,
It is not the issue of the datatype for outbound message for jdbc sender.
I have done the Graphical mapping and mapped the sourse message type to target message type (which is a rfc xml format request message type).
But when all the IR and ID objects activated and it comes to Runtime (integration server) then it is unable to execute the mapping in the xi pipeline step "Request Message Mapping" and generating a blank xml element as i have described earlier in my message.
What should i do or where should i check for the possible reasons and what could be the solution for this issue.
