Description Neil Hauge CLA 2010-09-30 17:06:43 EDT 
This enhancement covers context model for the generic JAXB containment mappings, specifically:

XmlAttribute
XmlElement
XmlAdapter


See http://wiki.eclipse.org/EclipseLink/DesignDocs/277920/Phase3 for detailed info and examples for these annotations.

Context model should include standard state and behavior required for validation purposes.

I added validation for XmlJavaTypeAdapter on a package and on an attribute.

1.If you specify an @XmlJavaTypeAdapter on a package and don't specify the type element, you get this validation message:
'The type must be specified for an XML Java type adapter on a package'

2.If you specify an @XmlJavaTypeAdapter on an attribute with a non-generic List or Collection and don't specify the type element, you get this validation message:
'The type for XML Java type adapter is not defined'
Here are 2 examples:

@XmlAttribute
@XmlJavaTypeAdapter(value=MyAdapter.class)
public List foo;

@XmlAttribute
@XmlJavaTypeAdapter(value=MyAdapter.class)
public List getFoo() {
    return this.foo;
}

This bug has been completed for 3.0M5. Remaining issues are logged for validation (bug 335731, bug 333484), icons (bug 333664), XmlElement default mapping (bug 335697)
