Combination of jaxb2-commons-lang toString and attribute default values are not consistant

Imagine you are using this configuration:

           <plugins>
              <plugin>
                <groupId>org.jvnet.jaxb2_commons</groupId>
                <artifactId>jaxb2-commons-lang</artifactId>
                <version>2.4</version>
              </plugin>
           </plugins>
           <args>
              <arg>-no-header</arg> <!-- suppress generation of a file header with timestamp -->
              <arg>-Xcommons-lang</arg>
              <arg>-Xcommons-lang:ToStringStyle=DEFAULT_STYLE</arg>
           </args>

with such a schema:

      <xsd:element name="domainpreview-cstic">
        <xsd:complexType>
          <xsd:simpleContent>
            <xsd:extension base="xsd:string">
              <xsd:attribute name="filter" type="DomainPreviewFilter" use="optional" default="ASSIGNABLE"/>
            </xsd:extension>
          </xsd:simpleContent>
        </xsd:complexType>
      </xsd:element>
      <xsd:simpleType name="DomainPreviewFilter">
         <xsd:restriction base="xsd:normalizedString">
           <xsd:enumeration value="NONE"/>
           <xsd:enumeration value="ASSIGNABLE"/>
         </xsd:restriction>
      </xsd:simpleType>

Will create this javacode:

public static class DomainpreviewCstic {

        @XmlValue
        protected String value;
        @XmlAttribute(name = "filter")
        protected DomainPreviewFilter filter;
...
public DomainPreviewFilter getFilter() {
            if (filter == null) {
                return DomainPreviewFilter.ASSIGNABLE;
            } else {
                return filter;
            }
        }
...
@Override
        public String toString() {
            return ToStringBuilder.reflectionToString(this, ToStringStyle.DEFAULT_STYLE);
        }

And so … If I did’t call getFilter() the filter field is always null and the toString doesn’t shows the “default” value DomainPreviewFilter.ASSIGNABLE.

Is there a way to do this?

I guess you’re in the wrong project.

I switched to this configuration and it works like a charm 😃
