JAXB annotations for setter / getter

@XmlType  
@XmlAccessorType(XmlAccessType.FIELD)  // here I need this access
public class User implements Serializable 
{  
     // ...  

     @XmlTransient
     private Set<Values> values;

     // ...

     @XmlElement
     private Set<History> getXmlHistory()
     {
         return new CustomSet<Values, History>(Values);
     }

     private void setXmlHistory(final Set<History> aHistory)
     {
         this.values = new HashSet<Values>();
     }  
}

When I create a User object in Java code and after creating the XML, then everything is fine.
But when I try to get a User object from XML, then the field is valuesalways null. So the setter does not work here. Maybe the setter needs annotation too?

XML looks like

<user>  
   ...  
      <xmlHistory>  
       // ... record 1 
      </xmlHistory>  
      <xmlHistory>  
      // ... record 2 
      </xmlHistory>  
</user>

I do not think this is a JAXB problem, as the following model will work:

package forum10617267;

import java.io.Serializable;
import java.util.*;
import javax.xml.bind.annotation.*;

@XmlType
@XmlAccessorType(XmlAccessType.FIELD) // here I need this access
public class User implements Serializable {

    @XmlTransient
    private Set<History> history = new HashSet<History>();

    @XmlElement
    private Set<History> getXmlHistory() {
         return history;
    }

    private void setXmlHistory(final Set<History> aHistory) {
        this.history = aHistory;
    }

}

The problem you see is the result of your logic in get / set methods. Since your field is valuesnot initialized, I'm not sure how I CustomSetcan update it.

package forum10617267;

import java.io.Serializable;
import java.util.*;
import javax.xml.bind.annotation.*;

@XmlType
@XmlAccessorType(XmlAccessType.FIELD) // here I need this access
public class User implements Serializable {

    @XmlTransient
    private Set<Values> values;

    @XmlElement
    private Set<History> getXmlHistory() {
         return new CustomSet<Values, History>(values);
    }

    private void setXmlHistory(final Set<History> aHistory) {
        this.values = new HashSet<Values>();
    }

}
