looking at your email, I have just changed <xs:element... to <xs:attribute... and it works! great!

This was what was generated:

    public java.lang.String getUserID() {
        if (_UserID == null) {
            return "fred";
        } else {
            return _UserID;
        }
    }

Thanks again.

We are using the jaxb generated classes as a bean on a web site and we require defaults. Is this still a bug? or are the defaults for the generated xml only and not the class itself? can you reccommend a fix?

Are you inquiring what happens to a JAXB property that is related to an
XML Schema attribute with a default value?

Lets use the following explicit example that I am assuming summarizes
your situation:

XML Schema fragrment <xs:attribute name="Foo" type="xsd:string"
default="default value"/>

Java Fragrment:
XXX x = (XXX)ObjectFactory.createXXX()
x.getFoo() should return "default value" and you are seeing "" instead.

Additionally, were you looking for element defaulting as well as
attribute defaulting.
