As a workaround, avoid primitives; use, for example, Integer instead. Then in
your getter, return its value as a primitive, and also check to see if it's
null, and if so, set it to whatever default you prefer.
public final class Zzz {
Integer number;
public int getNumber() {
if (this.number == null)
this.number = Integer.valueOf(0);
return (this.number.intValue());
}
