JAXB has reserved methods in order to capture lifecycle events.  In a means similar to JPA, annotations should be provided to make these event methods configurable.  Such as:

      @XmlBeforeUnmarshal
      public void preUnmarshal(Unmarshaller, Object parent);

      @XmlAfterUnmarshal
      public void postUnmarshal(Unmarshaller, Object parent);

      @XmlBeforeMarshal
      public boolean preMarshal(Marshaller);

      @XmlAfterMarshal
      public void postMarshal(Marshaller);
