Description Karen Butzke

2011-02-10 16:18:10 EST

If a baseType has a property annotated with @XmlAnyElement, then
no other sub type in the inheritance hierarchy rooted at baseType can
contain a property annotated with @XmlAnyElement.

We can do this validation more completely once we have XmlElementRef and XmlElementRefs mapping annotation support. @XmlAnyElement can be a standalone mapping annotation or it can be used along with XmlElementRef/XmlElementRefs

Also from the JAXB 2.2 spec (8.9.6.2)

- The only other JAXB annotations allowed with @XmlAnyElement are:
@XmlElementRefs.

Further investigation is needed to determine how validation and content assist differ from @XmlElementRefs as an annotation by itself.

I believe that an @XmlAnyElement must also correspond to a wildcard (<xsd:any .. >), but this bears further investigation.

This is incorrect.


Work for this is completed for 3.1 M3
