Description Karen Butzke CLA 2011-11-15 14:22:46 EST 
If you specify an XmlJavaTypeAdapter on a package-info.java as the DEFAULT, but do not fully qualify it, you don't get a validation error. If you instead specify type=javax.xml.bind.annotation.adapters.XmlJavaTypeAdapter.DEFAULT.class you get the JAXB validation error: "The type must be specified for an XML Java type adapter on a package"

No validation error in this case:
@XmlJavaTypeAdapter(value=com.sun.xml.bind.AnyTypeAdapter.class, type=XmlJavaTypeAdapter.DEFAULT.class)
package model;

import javax.xml.bind.annotation.adapters.XmlJavaTypeAdapter;
Comment 1 Karen Butzke CLA 2011-11-15 14:31:36 EST 
No validation error is given for this case either:
@XmlAttribute
@XmlJavaTypeAdapter(value=MyAdapter.class)
public List foo;

The second use case is as designed.  Metro will fail in this case, but MOXy will not.  It's more a case of us not having enough information to give a good error.
