AccessType("public_method"): Setters ignored when deserializing to non-standard XML properties

[robhogan]

XmlDeserializationVisitor::visitProperty uses reflection to set properties unless none of xmlAttribute, xmlValue, xmlCollection are set. For any remaining properties, reflection will only be used if metadata->setter is null. The latter logic seems more desirable for all cases.

This is presumably a bug? I can't see any reason the following configuration should not be using setItems when deserializing from XML:

class Order {
    /**
     * @Type("ArrayCollection<Item>")
     * @XmlList(entry = "item", inline = true)
     * @AccessType("public_method")
     */
    private $items;

    public function setItems($items){
        $this->items = $items;
        //Do something else
    }
}

I ran into this when attempting to make sure my Items were aware of my Orders, as Item was the owner of a Doctrine association.

Closing this issue - have raised a new one with test attached.
