I have
@XmlAttribute(required=true)
in hundreds places in a projects.
Can I make this default?…
…So that I then only need to specify
@XmlAttribute(required=false)
when needed.
No, that behaviour is hard-wired. However, the
requiredattribute is really a lightweight alternative to a proper XML schema. If you need better control over document validation, then I suggest you define an XML Schema for your documents, and inject the schema into theJAXBContext. The documents will then be checked on marshalling and unmarshalling, and you won’t have to rely on the annotations for validation.
