Possible Duplicate:
XJC Generating Integer Instead of int

Need to generate entity class with primirive int field. But xml string like this 

<xs:element name="RetriesCount" type="xs:int" minOccurs="0" default="2"/>

generates class with Integer filed named ‘retriesCount’. Using xs:integer causes generation with BigInteger type of ‘retriesCount’ field. Is there any solution to generate a simple Java int?

    Because your schema says minOccurs="0", JAXB has to use a type that is able to represent a null value, which is why it uses Integer. If you can change the schema to minOccurs="1" it will be able to use int instead.

    Note that the default="2" doesn’t necessarily do what you expect in XML. In particular the bound property will only take the default value if there is a RetriesCount element specified, but that element has no value (i.e. <RetriesCount /> or equivalently <RetriesCount></RetriesCount>). If the RetriesCount element is completely absent the property value will be null.
