If Employee has a composite mapping to CDNAddress, which extends Address which is marked transient, the following schema components are generated for CDNAddress:

<xsd:complexType name="cdnAddress">
  <xsd:complexContent>
    <xsd:extension base="address">
      <xsd:sequence>
        <xsd:element name="street" type="xsd:string" minOccurs="0"/>
        <xsd:element name="city" type="xsd:string" minOccurs="0"/>
        <xsd:element name="country" type="xsd:string" minOccurs="0"/>
        <xsd:element name="prov" type="xsd:string" minOccurs="0"/>
        <xsd:element name="postal" type="xsd:string" minOccurs="0"/>
      </xsd:sequence>
    </xsd:extension>
  </xsd:complexContent>
</xsd:complexType>

Since Address is transient, it is not mapped to XML directly, but it's properties are to be mapped to a given subclass as if it were inlined.  So we would expect to get:

<xsd:complexType name="cdnAddress">
  <xsd:sequence>
    <xsd:element name="street" type="xsd:string" minOccurs="0"/>
    <xsd:element name="city" type="xsd:string" minOccurs="0"/>
    <xsd:element name="country" type="xsd:string" minOccurs="0"/>
    <xsd:element name="prov" type="xsd:string" minOccurs="0"/>
    <xsd:element name="postal" type="xsd:string" minOccurs="0"/>
  </xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>

=================================================
Model:

public class Employee {
    public CDNAddress address;
}

public class Address {
    public String street;
    public String city;
    public String country;
}

public class CDNAddress extends Address {
    public String prov;
    public String postal;
}
