Note that these are options to the default type creators. If you take the step of creating a customized type creator, it will be up to you to respect or ignore these options.

TypeCreationOptions tOpts = new TypeCreationOptions();
tOpts.setDefaultMinOccurs(1);
tOpts.setDefaultNillable(false);
AegisDatabinding aDB = new AegisDatabinding();
aDB.getAegisContext().setTypeCreationOptions(tOpts);
sFactory.getServiceFactory().setDataBinding(aDB);
