jaxb collection no setter method

[Lavanya]

Hi,
JAXB doesn't generate  setters for collection types. When I try to map a POJO to JAXB class , since the setter method is mising, the collection is not getting mapped at all. I even tried to use JAXBBeanFactory and is-accessible = "true". But none of them seem to work. Is there any workaround for this?

Thanks,

Try this

Mapping a field with no get() or set() methods

Use the attribute is-accessible to declare that the field can be accessed directly. Dozer is able to access private properties that do not have getter or setter methods.

          
<field>
  <a>fieldAccessible</a>
  <b is-accessible="true">fieldAccessible</b>
</field>

but this way is so hard, i need to configure many object and many fileld in xml, is there any way to enable all public fields?

I have identified the solution for this. You should use the setter plugin from JAXB2

Ref this link.

Here is the ant target

Hey,
For JAXB Collections without setter method I got a solution that really works :

No need to add settor method in generated classes , just follow the above link solution.
