ACE BAR include the option to generate default values (“Build message tree using schema data types”) when validate option is enabled

We have around one thousand ACE v12 flows that consist of SOAP services (SOAP Request + SOAP Reply).

In the flows, we build the SOAP reply message using ESQL, but we are facing an issue regarding the reply message: Some fields with "default value" in XSD are not being generated and this generates errors in our ACE ESQL code.

In order to avoid massive changes in flows code "we will require that ACE BAR includes the option to modify the property “Build message tree using schema data types” that is found in “Input Message Parsing” -> “Parsing Options”, at the same time that the property "Validate" in "Validation" tab is enabled as well. We require this option to be available via the command "mqsiapplybaroverride" and toolkit BAR Editor as well.

This is a sample XSD excerpt:

<xsd:element default="0" minOccurs="1" name "AccountType">
<xsd:annotation>
<xsd:documentation>Account Type</xsd:documentation>
</xsd:annotation>
<xsd:SimpleType>
<xsd:restriction base="xsd:int"/>

In the XSD sample, we want that the type "AccountType" is printed in the resulting message tree with the value "0" when this data is not present in the incoming message.
