[jboss-dev-forums] [Design of JBossXB] - Re: @XmlElement(defaultValue=

But the element must still be present in the XML. "jaxb20 spec" wrote : Element defaulting | The default value is derived from the element declaration?s {value | constraint} property?s value. Unlike attribute defaulting, an element only | defaults when there is an empty element tag in an xml document. The | element?s default value is captured by mapping annotation | @XmlElement.defaultValue(). The unmarshaller sets the | property to this default value when it encounters an empty element tag.
