It's probably best if you can show an example of what you're trying to
do, with the fragment of the binding definition and the actual post-set
method code.

The problem is that I'm using the default attribute to set each
element value to the empty string if it doesn't exist, so nothing is
ever null. Right now I've had to settle for doing similar to what you
suggested as your second option, but I don't really like it because,
since nothing is ever null, I use the empty string for comparison. So
if all the subelements in my optional structure are empty, then the
boolean never gets set.
I'm just curious as to why post-set doesn't work in this instance. Is
there a reason for this?

I have a XML element, 'Worksheet,' which consists entirely of optional
structures.
In my java file, I have a bunch of booleans that denote the existence
of the optional structures. However, after marshalling, I cannot get
JiBX to set these booleans to true if the optional element exists.
The default constructor sets these values to false. I tried putting
post-set hooks on the optional elements, but they seem to be ignored.
I assume the correct thing to do is to set a post-set on the main
parent, 'Worksheet'. However, I don't know how to check for the
existence of optional sub-elements at that level.
There are several ways you could handle this. One would be to use
set-methods for the optional structures, and have the set-methods set
the corresponding boolean as well as storing the actual object if the
value passed in is non-null. Another would be to do basically the same
thing in the post-set method, and look for the values that are
associated with the optional elements. If the optional element is not
present in the document JiBX will set a null value for the corresponding
object.
Does that help, or is there something I'm not understanding about your
requirements?
