Description Blaise Doughan CLA 2010-09-07 15:10:35 EDT 
There is a difference between the Metro and MOXy JAXB implementations.  When creating a JAXBContext MOXy will introspect the types on the ObjectFactory class while Metro will not.  This issue should be investigated further before officially declaring this a bug.
Comment 1 Denise Smith CLA 2011-05-25 11:27:12 EDT 
The difference only occurs when creating the context from a list of classes.  When the context is created from a context path the ObjectFactory should still be processed automatically. Also when it is created from a list of classes the ObjectFactory is not always processed but it will be if there are annotations that may require information from it (ie: XMLElementRef).
