CXF ignores @XmlAttribute when serializing exception
----------------------------------------------------

                 Key: CXF-2779
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CXF-2779
             Project: CXF
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: JAXB Databinding
    Affects Versions: 2.2.7
            Reporter: Chris Wilson
         Attachments: CxfExceptionFieldPropagationTest.java

JAXBEncoderDecoder#unmarshallException} doesn't normally write to private 
fields, so exception data isn't propagated, unless:

* either the {...@link @XmlAccessorType} annotation is present on the class and 
used to set the default access method to something other than the default 
XmlAccessType#PUBLIC_MEMBER,
* or the {...@link XmlAttribute} annotation is present on the individual 
private members that you want to be serialized.

The 
[http://www.caucho.com/resin-3.1/doc/jaxb-annotations.x...@xmlattribute|Caucho 
documentation] says:

bq. Adding @XmlAttribute to a private field will mark that field as 
serializable.

{code}
@XmlRootElement
class Bean {
  @XmlAttribute("sample-field")
  private String _myField;
}
{code}

Nevertheless:

* JAXBEncoderDecoder#marshallException calls 
org.apache.cxf.jaxb.JAXBContextInitializer#isFieldAccepted to see whether the 
field should be copied
* that method fails to check for the XmlAttribute annotation on the field
* so its value is never serialized or deserialized

and the attached test case fails unless:

* either a public getter and setter are provided to turn the field into a 
property, 
* or the access type is changed to something other than PUBLIC_MEMBER.
