Description Rick Barkhouse

In Dynamic JAXB we have no way of finding the type of the Java attribute specified in an xml-transformation element in OXM.  We will need to add a 'type' attribute to xml-transformation, so that we can override the java.lang.Object Java attribute that is initially present in Dynamic JAXB.

Is container-type required as well?

Hi Dave, you're right, we would need container-type as well, as the xml-transformation is responsible for completely defining the Java attribute.

Is this support still required?

Comment 4 Rick Barkhouse

After further thought, we will not be supporting the XmlTransformation case in Dynamic JAXB, as it is not compatible with a class-less, dynamic model.
