[jibx-users] Deserializer called for optional attribute

[Dr. Hartmut Kocher]

I have a deserializer that is used in the binding definition.   <value name="severity" field="severity" deserializer="com.mmm.components.rulechecker.dto.Severity.fromValue" style="attribute" usage="optional"/>   As the attribute is optional, I would expect that Jibx would skip the deserializer and assign “null” to the field directly. It seems that it is calling my deserializer with a parameter or null instead. Is this the intended behavior?   The problem with this is that my deserilializer is a function from an enumeration type (enum pattern in Java) where null is not a valid value…   kind regards   Dr. Hartmut Kocher Cortex Brainware GmbH
