Hey Alexey:

I'm looking at the absolute latest JBoss XB (now, at least), specifically MarshallerImpl vs XercesXSMarshaller.

It is plain to see (IMO) that MarshallerImpl does *not* throw any exceptions if a required attribute is missing. I just ran a test to verify.

I did manage to get one marshaller to throw such an exception (after slight modification). I took the XercesXSMarshaller's and added the following code starting at 695:

 } // end if attrValue != null
 else if( currentAttribute.getRequired()){
 // its required and is not present. Must throw exception
 String name = currentAttribute.getAttrDeclaration().getName();
 throw new JBossXBRuntimeException("Required Attribute " + name + " is not present");
 }

Once I made this modification to XercesXSMarshaller, my test passed successfully. After reading your suggestion about MarshallerImpl, I switched to that marshaller, and the exact same test failed to throw any sort of JBossXBRuntimeExcepton of any sort for missing a required attribute.

The test, plainly, is that my schema REQUIRES an attribute (such as "name") and I am trying to marshall an object lacking this attribute.

Since I've found a workaround in my edits to XercesXSMarshaller, I can move forward with my project; but I think some similar functionality needs to be added to MarshallerImpl if you intend for it to replace XercesXSMarshaller.

Hope all's well! Thanks for your help!

Also, I suggest putting @deprecated tags in recently deprecated classes ;)

Required=true was used only to check that there is a Java property for the xml attribute in the Java class.

I've created and fixed the jira issue for this.
