We've seen this case before.
JaxB generates an isSet() method and counts on it being used prior to getting.
JSON 'naively' uses the getter method and gets null if the value is
uninitialized. Why JaxB makes the getter return a primitive (int), while the
underlying property is an object (Integer) - thus causing this danger of a
NullPointerException - I don't know.
But the way we deal with this is not by adding a default value, because this
can be dangerous API-wise. If some day the default value will change, and we
forget to update this in api.xsd, the client would keep passing the old value.
The way we deal with this, is adding an annotation which tells JaxB not do
generate an isSet() method for this attribute, which makes the getter return
the object (Integer), not the primitive (int).
Pasting an example:
<xs:complexType name="CpuTopology">
<xs:attribute name="sockets" type="xs:int" use="optional">
<xs:annotation>
<xs:appinfo>
<jaxb:property generateIsSetMethod="false"/>
</xs:appinfo>
</xs:annotation>
</xs:attribute>
