JAXB Bean Generation

Question

I am using JAXB for generating beans from XSD\'s using a JAXB plugin in Maven. This is working fine, expect that the code contains isSetXXXXXX() methods for each field.

Answer 1

By default a JAXB (JSR-222) implementation will not generate isSet methods. Since you are getting them one of the following must be true:

1. You can a schema annotation that specifies: <jaxb:globalBindings generateIsSetMethod="true"/>
2. You have an external binding file that specifies: <jaxb:globalBindings generateIsSetMethod="true"/>
3. You are specifying a property to the Maven plug-in to generate the isSet methods.
