JAXB, XJC and the Java Beans spec. - boolean getter methods

Hi,

I have problems in using XJC to generate JAXB classes to match the Java
Beans specification.

The generated methods for <boolean> types are
void set.....(Boolean value )
Boolean is....()

instead of

void set....(boolean value)
boolean is....()

That causes problems in using JXPath (apache) for example, and other
libraries, too.

I´ve read a lot about this problem, for example:

I´ve read something about a "booleangetter" plugin - is this already
available anywhere?
Isn´t there maybe another (simple) solution?

What would you suggest to come around this "boolean getter method problem"
?


Thanx, Torsten
