[castor-dev] Significance of _has_someFileld in the code generated bySource generator

[Kothapalli Choudary]

If I have any ingeger or boolean field like 'someField'  in the schema, the Source Generator is generating a _has_someField in the java code generated.   The XMLFieldandler seems to return null instead of the default java value when getValue(...) is invoked for that field.   May I know why this is coded so? This unnecessarily clutters the code and makes it difficult to read...I just want to know the significance of this...   Regards, Choudary.   Ex:   public class Manager extends company.Employee implements java.io.Serializable {     private int _peopleUnder;       /**      * keeps track of state for field: _peopleUnder     **/     private boolean _has_peopleUnder;     //the rest of the code is elided }
