How to make JAXB unmarshaller use getters rather than fields - jaxb

Question

I have some classes generated automatically using maven-jaxb2-plugin and jaxbfx. The latter generates JAXB classes with getters and setters that should be called when marshalling and unmarshalling respectively. However, the JAXB marshaller and unmarshaller methods use fields instead of the getters and setters.
The following code shows an example of a class generated with jaxbfx.
#XmlAccessorType(XmlAccessType.FIELD)
#XmlType(name = "MyType")
public class MyType{
#XmlAttribute(name = "id", required = true)
protected int id;
private final transient IntegerProperty idProxy = new SimpleIntegerProperty();
public void setId(int value) {
this.id = value;
this.idProxy.set(value);
}
public short getId() {
return this.idProxy.get();
}
public IntegerProperty idProperty() {
return this.idProxy;
}
}
Therefore, I would like to know whether it is possible to make the marshaller and unmarshaller use the getters and setters instead of the fields. Please note that I cannot change the JAXB annotations manually, since they are generated automatically.

Answer 1

A working solution follows:
Modify the jaxbfx to clear all JAXB annotations from generated classes: this is achieved by invoking method clearAllAnnotations(implClass) for every class to be generated
Install the the jaxb2-basics-annotate plugin.
Modify the xml schema (file.xsd) to add the #XmlElement annotation to any getter and setter method.
For example:
<xs:complexType name="MyType">
<xs:attribute name="id" type="xs:int" use="required">
<xs:annotation>
<xs:appinfo>
<annox:annotate target="setter">#javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlAttribute(required=true,name="id")
</annox:annotate>
</xs:appinfo>
</xs:annotation>
</xs:attribute>
</xs:complexType>
